Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, as long as you have a valid employment permit. The processing certificate confirms that your application is in process and that you can continue working under the same conditions as with the previous card. Always request the certificate when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You have up to 90 days from expiration to renew without penalty. After this period, renewal becomes regularization and may result in a disciplinary file. If you are more than 90 days past the expiry date, consult with an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with an expired TIE?
No. You need your passport to travel outside Spain and a valid TIE or authorization upon re-entering Spain. If you travel with an expired TIE, you may face issues returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if renewing by family reunification?
For family reunification renewal, you also need: documentation of the Spanish or EU citizen who is sponsoring you (ID card/passport + joint residency certificate), and proof of familial relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to get a decision on my TIE renewal?
The legal deadline is 3 months. In practice, resolution times vary depending on the Delegation of Government and workload. You can check the status of your application online using the reference number provided when you submit your form.
