Can’t get a residence permit or other police appointments? We can help!

For foreigners starting out in Spain, obtaining appointments for procedures at the police station is a major hurdle that cannot be avoided.
Appointments at the police station are necessary to obtain an NIE (foreigner registration number) or a TIE (foreigner residence card), especially in Barcelona.
‘I can’t get an appointment!’ We often hear people say, ‘I can’t get an appointment!

Why is it so difficult to get an appointment?

1.The number of appointments is very small
As Barcelona is a city that attracts many foreigners, the appointment slots for the police are quickly filled. Especially during the study and immigration seasons, access to the system is concentrated and the system can become congested.

2. Problems with the online appointment system
The Spanish Government’s online appointment system can sometimes be difficult to connect to. In addition, the timing of when reservations are opened is irregular, so it is necessary to check the system frequently.

3. Language barriers
If you are not familiar with the Spanish language, operating the booking system and the necessary procedures can often seem complicated.
We had one customer who told us, ‘I’ve been stuck in front of the PC every day for a month trying and still can’t get it.’
The appointment was made the week after the request was made.
