Arriving in Madrid is only the beginning of the immigration process. Depending on your visa, nationality and length of stay, you may need to complete additional procedures to document your legal residence in Spain.
MIGROW provides English-language assistance to help SLU Madrid students understand these requirements, prepare the correct documents and complete the necessary procedures after arrival.
TIE Application
Support
The Foreigner Identity Card, known as the TIE, is the physical document that confirms your authorized immigration status in Spain.
We help you understand whether you need a TIE, prepare the required documentation and follow the appropriate application process.
Fingerprint Appointment Guidance
Obtaining a TIE normally requires an in-person fingerprint appointment with the Spanish police. MIGROW can assist you with:
- Identifying the appropriate appointment procedure
- Preparing the required application form
- Reviewing the government-fee documentation
- Organizing the documents you must bring
- Understanding what to expect during the appointment
- Preparing for the collection of your residence card
NIE and Residency Documentation
The NIE is your foreigner identification number in Spain, while the TIE is the physical card that reflects your immigration status.
We explain the difference between these documents and help you identify which procedures apply to your individual situation.
Registration-Related Guidance
Certain administrative procedures may require proof of your address or registration with the relevant local authority. We provide guidance on the documentation you may need and help you understand how local registration may relate to your immigration procedures.
Document Review Before Your Appointment
Missing or incorrect documents can result in delays or require you to attend another appointment. Before your appointment, MIGROW can review documents such as:
- Passport and visa
- Entry documentation
- TIE application form
- Government-fee receipt
- University enrollment or admission certificate
- Proof of address
- Passport photographs
- Previous residence card, when applicable
Lost, Stolen or Damaged TIE
When a residence card is lost, stolen, damaged or contains incorrect information, it may be necessary to request a duplicate or replacement card. We can explain the applicable procedure, review the supporting documents and assist you in preparing for the replacement-card appointment.
Return Authorization
Students with an expired residence card or a pending renewal may, in certain circumstances, need a return authorization — known in Spanish as an autorización de regreso — before travelling outside Spain.
MIGROW can assess your situation, explain whether this procedure may apply and help you prepare the necessary documentation.
