Question
How long does it take to get the Spanish TIE card through? I had my Cita about 2.5 months ago now and still no card. Does anyone know how you chase it up? Thanks.
Answers
These are the answers of Spainguru’s Facebook group members:
“Hi, you need to schedule an appointment to collect your TIE around 30-45 days after you have applied for it.”
“Hi. There’ll be a lot number in your receipt. Check through the online booking system. It should be there by now. You need to make an appointment to go pick it up. Take passport and receipt (and your finger 🤣).”
“You need a TIE collection appointment. It’s unlikely that your batch number is not ready after 2.5 months.”
Conclusion
From the responses, it seems the process for receiving your Spanish TIE card involves more than just attending the initial appointment. After your application, you typically need to schedule a separate collection appointment about 30-45 days later. Checking your batch number on the online booking system can confirm if your TIE is ready for pickup.
If it’s been over 2.5 months without notification, it’s likely you still need to book a collection appointment. Remember to bring your passport, receipt, and identification when you go to collect the card.
