Spain TIE deadline calculator

The calculator needs JavaScript. The rules it uses are all listed below.

How this works

Each line is one rule. Tap the number for the source, the exact words and the date it was checked.

  1. The TIE card is applied for in person within 1 month of entering Spain.
  2. The TIE applies to a visa or permit for a stay of more than 6 months.
  3. A time limit in months ends on the same day number of the month it expires; when that month has no such day, on its last day.
  4. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are non-working days for these time limits.
  5. When the last day falls on a non-working day, the time limit moves to the next working day.

What this does not cover

  • Counting from the day the permit is granted or takes effect: the regulation (article 209.1) also allows that start. This tool counts from the day you entered Spain.
  • Booking the fingerprint appointment (cita previa) and the documents to bring.
