Our explanation

Administrative deadlines

The Administration has legal deadlines to decide depending on the application type. Administrative silence may be positive or negative depending on the procedure; check the official sheet.

Document validity periods

Criminal record certificates, medical reports and some empadronamiento records expire. Plan submission so they remain valid on the registration date.

Current official fees

Immigration and nationality fees are paid via official forms (usually 790). The amount depends on the selected code and may be updated annually.

How to pay correctly

Download the form from the Ministry portal, complete the details, pay at a collaborating bank or electronically and keep the receipt for the file.

Appointment and collection times

Obtaining an appointment may take weeks depending on the province. TIE production after fingerprints usually requires several additional weeks.

Remedies and subsanación

If a subsanación request is issued, respond within the stated deadline under penalty of archiving. Appeals may be available against refusals within procedure time limits.
