NIE Number (Numero de identidad de extranjero)

Following recent legislation, it is now a legal requirement to have an NIE number before purchasing a property in Spain. A Gestor will charge about 100 euros to do this for you, but you can easily do it yourself. It will save you a lot of time if you download the application form here and fill it in ready to take with you to Spain. Otherwise you have to join the queue at the National Police station to collect an application form. You can complete the form in English, as follows:
