Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for the renewal of my TIE?
Yes, if you have an active work permit. A pending application notice from the Foreign Office confirms your right to continue working under the same conditions as with your previous card. Always request this notice when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You can renew up to 90 days after expiration without penalty. After that, renewal becomes regularization and may involve a disciplinary process. If you are more than 90 days past the expiry date, consult an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my expired TIE?
No. To travel outside Spain, you need a valid passport and, to re-enter, a valid residence permit or authorization. Traveling with an expired card may cause problems when returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if renewing by family reunification?
For family reunification, you also need: documentation of the Spanish or EU citizen who is reuniting you (ID card or passport + joint residency certificate), and documentation that supports your family relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to resolve TIE renewal?
The legal timeframe is 3 months. In practice, depending on the Government Delegate and workload, it can be resolved in 1-3 months. You can check the status of your application online with the reference number given at submission.
