Residence and TIE route checker

When can you renew your TIE in Spain?

There is no single renewal window for every TIE. Identify what is expiring first; this version calculates dates only for long-term national and long-term-EU cards. For that card-only route, the standard period opens two calendar months before the printed expiry date and ends three calendar months after it.

Use the exact wording on your card or favourable decision. If none of these labels clearly match, choose the unsure route.

What this tool can tell you

This checker first separates a temporary-authorisation renewal from a long-term physical-card renewal, an approved-card step, and a duplicate. Only the long-term-card route receives a date calculation.

  • Use the full authorisation name, not only the words NIE or TIE.
  • For a long-term card, enter the expiry printed on that card and follow the dedicated Police procedure.
  • Save the document, result, and final submission receipt together.

Before you act on the result

Read the exact route on the card or favourable decision. Study, EU-family, UGE, Brexit, protection, and first long-term applications follow different official rules.

  • Confirm the final step on the official portal linked from this page.
  • If the document or route is unclear, get a case-specific review before a deadline passes.

Official rules and the document in hand control the route. This checker does not decide eligibility, legal status, travel rights, filing acceptance, or appointment availability.
