Hi I have an NIE number and own a property in Spain. I am from Northern Ireland and therefore have dual nationality. I have both British and Irish passports. Do I need to apply for a TIE number
Hi
You can apply for a tie at http://www.tiecardspain.com or you can apply for a green residency card. You have the best of both worlds.
