Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, if you have a valid work permit. The processing request document proves your right to continue under the same terms as before. Always get this document when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has expired?
You can renew within 90 days of expiration without fines. After that, the renewal becomes a regularization process and may involve an administrative sanction. If you are more than 90 days past your card’s expiration date, consult with an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my expired TIE?
No. You need a valid passport and a current residence card to enter Spain. Traveling with an expired card can cause problems when returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if renewing by family reunification?
For renewal by family reunification, you also need: documentation of the Spanish/EU citizen who sponsors your reunion (ID/passport + joint residency certificate), and evidence of familial relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to resolve TIE renewal?
The legal deadline is 3 months. In practice, depending on the Delegación de Gobierno and workload, it can be resolved in 1-3 months. You can check the status of your file online using the reference number given when you submit the application.
