Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, if you have a valid work authorization. The pending application certificate confirms your right to continue working under the same conditions as with the previous card. Always request this certificate when applying.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You can renew within 90 days of expiry without penalty. After that, renewal becomes regularization and may involve a disciplinary procedure. If you have been over 90 days with an expired card, consult a migration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my expired TIE?
No. To travel outside Spain you need a valid passport and, to enter again, a valid TIE or authorization. If you travel with an expired card, you might face issues upon returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if I’m renewing by family reunification?
For renewal by family reunification, you also need: documentation of the Spanish or EU citizen who is reuniting with you (ID card or passport + joint residency certificate), and documentation that proves the familial relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to resolve the TIE renewal?
The legal timeframe is 3 months. In practice, depending on the regional government delegation and workload, resolution may occur in 1-3 months. You can check your application status online with the reference number given at submission.
