Have you been left an inheritance in Spain, but been told to Claim it you need a Spanish NIE Number? Are you thinking of Making a Spanish Will?

It is recommended that after buying assets (property) in Spain (i.e. House, Villa, apartment) Ex-pats should make a Spanish Will.  A new Spanish law now states all beneficiaries named in a will must obtain their own NIE Numbers in order to inherit.

Reasons for Making a Will in Spain:

1.) Give your self and your relatives Peace of Mind. It is important for your loved ones that you leave everything in order for when the time arrives.

2.) Make sure all the hard work over the years goes directly to those you care about and not to the Spanish Tax Office. Planning in advance ensures you keep Inheritance tax to an absolute minimum for your family.

3.) Locate a local recommended Lawyer who is well informed and up to date on inheritance laws. Seek NIE Numbers for your loved ones at a convenient time for all i.e.: when visiting you on holiday, instead of this being a chore to be carried out later at what will be a stressful enough time for them.

4.) Preparing a will in advance enables you to be informed about the procedures in Spain. Your loved ones can also then be advised of what to expect when the time arrives. E.g., Inheritance Taxes are to be paid up front prior to any names being changed on a title deed. Property and possessions can not be sold or bequeathed until the taxes are paid. Should your inheritors not be prepared or they are to be unsure of the procedures they may not be able to provide to the relevant authorities the correct information and documentation required. This may cause delays and consequently penalties charges may be incurred.

Your assigned lawyer will draw up the will in both English and Spanish. They should ensure you have all the latest Spanish Inheritance Information, translated and witnessed by your local Notary. Following this, registration of the document is made at the Central Wills’ Registry who is based in Madrid.

Usually Lawyers, if you already have a will in your own country of residence, can automatically calculate in advance how much tax your loved ones will have to pay and can also make suggestions of how you may be able to reduce the taxes your inheritors will pay.

In the absence of a will? Should a will not be made, your beneficiaries’ will need judicial or notarised documents that declare they are legitimate heirs. In addition to this they will need to provide clear evidence in order to justify that their claim to inherit your estate is valid. If an agreement by the parties involved cannot be made then it is likely the case will go to court where the decision regarding your hard earned possessions is made by the judge.

NIE NUMBERS AND BREXIT. HOW IT AFFECTS YOU

GET A NIE NUMBER IN BENIDORM

GET A NIE NUMBER IN BARCELONA

NIE NUMBERS AND BREXIT

On the June 23, 2016 a referendum by British voters to exit the European Union was won with a ‘YES’ vote, much to the shock of many across the European Union. Read more about Brexit on Wikipedia

The word Brexit being an abbreviation of ‘British Exit’  The Brexit vote was followed by the resignation of the British Prime minister David Cameron and triggered thw start of a process called article 50 which is the start of the UK’S divorce from the Union. Read more about Brexit day here.

But what does this mean for your NIE Number in Spain?

Spanish NIE Numbers are issued to people all over the world, not just UK Citizens.  For this reason we believe that British Citizens wishing to work or live in Spain after the Brexit ‘independence day’ will still need to apply for a NIE Number, however the procedure and amount of evidence required for your need for a NIE Number might be stricter.

Although no official announcement has been made about working in Spain with a NIE Number after Brexit we believe the system will be roughly the same and non EU Citizens applying for a NIE Number. The booking system will be slightly different as we will not be applying for a certificate EU. British citizens will likely apply for a NIE Number like people from the rest of the world.

Will it be easier to get Residency in Spain Post Brexit if I Have a NIE Number?

At the moment as we go to press with this blog post its almost impossible to tell, although we believe having a NIE Number pre Brexit will make applying for Spanish Residency post Brexit easier.

If I get my NIE Number before Brexit will I be able to continue to work in Spain after Brexit?

Yes. The EU and Spain will still welcome UK citizens to come and work in Spain after Brexit. Some Costal Spanish towns have a huge EX-PAT British population and the Spanish are keen to maintain a good relationship.

Until the final deal has been agreed with EU Negotiators the waters are murkey. The possibility of a ‘NO DEAL’ are seen as a real possibility. In this case a Bilateral agreement with the UK and Spain would be required. Read more about residency in Spain.

As I will no longer be a EU Citizen will I need to make changes to my registration on the NIE Number system after Brexit?

Its unclear at the moment what current British EX-PATS living in Spain willneed to do post Brexit. As soon as more news is released we will update our blog and homepage to reflect this.

If I need to make any chances to my NIE Number registration after Brexit can your company help?

Unfortunately we don’t currently have any information about the changes the Spanish government will implement after Brexit.  We hope that once the changes have been announced we will be able to advice our customers better.

I own a business in Spain. Will my Current NIE Number still work after Brexit?

If you already own a business in Spain its likely you will already have your NIE Number and Residency in Spain. It is not thought that changes will affect how you run your business in Spain after Brexit.

Will I have to update my NIE Number registration with my new non-EU post Brexit Passport?

Because your passport number is likely to stay the same post Brexit we do not think you will need to update your NIE Number registration post Brexit. We will update our blog in due course.

I am on the reduced rate of National insurance in Spain with my current NIE Number. Will this offer continue?

The reduced rate of national insurance for non residents starting a business in Spain was introduced by the Spanish Government, and is not a EU Law. As such we do not at this point believe there will be any change to your entitlement to the reduced rate post Brexit if you already hold a NIE Number.

I’m not planning on moving to Spain until after Brexit. Should I get my NIE Number before?

Without any current clarity from The Uk Government or the EU, its impossible to tell if you will obtain an advantage getting your NIE Number pre-Brexit. If you would like to apply for your NIE Number please visit our NIE NUMBER BOOKING FORM.

My NIE Number certificates states I’m a EU Citizen. Will I need a new certificate?

Although what system will be in place is unclear, we believe that you will keep the same certificate and NIE Number after Brexit.

What our NIE Number Expert Lisa says about Brexit:

Until there is some clear announcement from to EU and the British Government our hands are tied.  We recommend visiting our homepage where will we will be updating the latest NIE Number Brexit information.  Unfortunately the continued uncertainty is making it impossible for us to give British Ex-Pats a true picture of what changes may come.

Is a NIE Number a legal requirement?

If your planning on Staying or working in Spain for a period of more than 3 Months it is a legal requirement for you TO GET A NIE NUMBER.

From 28 March 2007, a Royal Decree 240/07 requires that all EU citizens planning to reside in Spain for more than 3 months should register in person at the Oficina de Extranjeros in their province of residence or at designated Police stations. When you register, you will be issued with a credit card size Residence Certificate stating your name, address, nationality, NIE number (Número de Identificación Extranjero) and your date of registration as a resident.

After you have been registered as a resident for five years, you can apply for a certificate of permanent residence in Spain. You will be issued with a similar credit card size Residence Certificate, but it will additionally state that you are a permanent resident (residente permanente).

Note: Some people still have an A4 size Residence Certificate rather than the credit card sized one – in these cases there is no requirement to re-apply for a credit card size one unless your circumstances (for example your address) change, or unless you want to.

You can make an appointment to apply for residency, or to move onto permanent residency here.

More details can be found on the website for the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (information is in Spanish).

This form is used to book your NIE Number appointment. A good Standard of reading Spanish is required to complete this form correctly. If you do not feel confidant to fill in this form your self please use our form and we will do this for you.

Form 2: NIE Number form 790

Reconocimientos, Autorizaciones y Concursos, in Spanish. This form is used to pay your government NIE Number fee. This form MUST be completed correctly. If you have a form translated into English this will not be accepted at either the bank or the Police Station.

Form 2: NIE Number form EX-15

This is your main application form for your NIE Number appointment.  This form can be quite complicated and ensuring it is completed in correct Spanish is important.  Forms EX-15 translated into English will not be accepted at the Police Station.

Translating the Spanish NIE Number forms into English is possible using Google Translate, however we do not recommend submitting your NIE Number forms your self unless you are 100% confidant.

I filled in my name wrong on the Spanish NIE Number booking form website. What Can I do?

If you have filled in the Spanish NIE Number application form on the booking website incorrect this can be a nightmare. In Spain you can only have 1 CITA PRIVA appointment at a time. Most of the time its possible to use the cancelation button on the website to cancel your appointment but please be aware that sometimes this function is not operating. As such you may need to wait until after the appointment date you was allocated to re-book.  The Spanish police generally require the forms to be filled in correctly. They are unlikely to be sympathetic to any mistakes.

I tried to translate the NIE Number  forms into English and made a mistake, can you correct them for me?

Here at MY NIE Number Spain we can fill out all your NIE Number forms and email them back to you to print.  Just use our easy English Language booking form at www.mynie.co.uk and one of our team will fill in all the forms in Spanish and Email back to you to print.

Why are the NIE Number forms in Spanish and Not translated English?

When in Rome act like the Romans.  When in Spain you will need to get used to their forms being in Spanish. Very few forms including the Spanish NIE Number form are translated into English.  Be Careful of online NIE Number forms that claim to be correctly translated into English, we have seen many with mistakes which could mean you being sent away from your NIE Number appointment.

Can I download the NIE Number application form in English from the Spanish website?

At this time, the Spanish NIE Number booking website does not allow an English version to be downloaded from its website and all forms must be completed in Spanish.

Why do the NIE Number forms need to be completed in Spanish and not English?

You will find most of the staff at the Police station will be Spanish. Sometimes there will be an English Translator on site to help you, however, your forms even if they are translated into English need to be completed in Spanish.

Some customer reviews from people who needed their NIE Numbers Fast

Claire and Brian from Cardiff in Wales needed their NIE Number fast when they decided to buy a house in Spain.  If they had to wait they would have lost out on their house purchase in Benidorm, Spain.  We asked them what they thought of our service. They Said:

We was really excited to be moving to Spain, but we needed our NIE Numbers FAST to be able to purchase our dream property.  We was a bit disappointed at first because we was told our appointment would be 7 weeks away.
