Question

Answers

These are the answers of some Facebook group members:

“Definitely check with the consulate in the Netherlands… if they do it (which I think they should) then that will be a million times easier than doing it here.”

“All the info is on the consulate’s website. You need to get what is unofficially called a “white NIE” as it’s an A4 white piece of paper.”

“For people outside of Spain who want to buy property in Spain there is a special ‘resisdence certificate ‘ your lawyer can apply and get for you. I have the number of a good lawyer let me know if you want their contact.”

“You’ll need a NIE to sign the deed or get a mortgage. It’s easiest to get to the embassy.”

“Yes I got mine through the Spanish embassy/consulate in Ireland while I was still living there.”
