You will need to pay an Administrative fee to issue your TIE card (22€/person). We will prepare the necessary forms to pay the fee and translate for you during the appointment.
• Approximately one month after the application your TIE card will be ready for collection. We will accompany you to Alicante to collect it as you also need to be there in person.
