Age in Spain encourages expats in Spain to get a TIE now

The charity is appealing to anyone who has not applied to exchange their green residency document for a TIE to do so immediately

Since July 6, 2020, a new residency document has been available for British people resident in Spain, following the UK’s exit from the EU. A plastic TIE card (Tarjeta de Identidad Extranjero) replaces the previous paper EU Residence Certificate (green residency document).

 

Age in Spain is now appealing to those people who have not applied to exchange their green document for a TIE to do so without delay. The organisation, which provides information and support to English speakers living in Spain, helps those who want to make the exchange.

 

An Age in Spain poll conducted on social media suggests that the majority of those people who need proof that they are resident in Spain have either received or are in the process of applying for their TIE. But a substantial minority have been deterred from applying for a variety of reasons – some are worried about not being able to deal with the bureaucracy involved, don’t know where to start, or don’t feel it’s important, while others just haven’t got round to it.

 

Many people feel that since the paper certificate is valid indefinitely, it’s preferable to the TIE which needs to be renewed every ten years.

 

But there are serious disadvantages to relying on the paper certificate, as some Spanish authorities no longer accept it as proof of identity and residency, although they should.

 

Helen Weir, chief executive of Age in Spain, has reports of people encountering problems when they only have the paper certificate.

 

“Some administrative bodies in Spain have stopped recognising the green residency document. In particular, the Employment Office (Oficino de Empleo) have recognised only the TIE since January of this year. So, if you are in employment, on ERTE, or receiving unemployment benefit, it’s imperative that you apply for a TIE.

 

“There are many advantages to having the TIE – not just its durability. It is evidence that you are officially resident in Spain, it’s valid ID and all you need for internal travel in Spain, and it shows clearly that you are under the scope of Britain’s Withdrawal Agreement with the EU.

 

“Most importantly, it is recognised by every administrative body in Spain.”

 

The green residency document is still a legal document in Spain, and should technically be recognised for any administrative procedure you need to undertake, but in practice many organisations are making it difficult for anyone who doesn’t have the TIE card.
