@englishjohncostablanca: When do you actually need an NIE? 🇪🇸 It depends on what you’re doing 👇 👉 Before you move to Spain You’ll usually need an NIE in advance if you’re: Buying a property Signing certain legal/financial contracts Setting things up remotely before arrival 👉 After you arrive You can wait if you’re: Moving first and sorting admin after Renting short-term initially Going through your visa process in sequence ⚠️ The mistake? People either rush to get it too early (out of sequence) or leave it too late and delay everything. The timing matters. 💡 Done right, it fits into your wider move plan — not as a random task. If you get the sequence wrong, you create problems you didn’t need. Want help getting it right first time? Message me today to discuss. #movetospain #nie #spainrelocation #expatlife #spainproperty
