Spain immigration appointments —
in English, finally.
Getting an immigration appointment in Spain isn't hard because the system is complicated. It's hard because the slots disappear within seconds of being released — often at 3am.
We watch Spain's immigration portal around the clock and book your slot the moment it appears. NIE, TIE, arraigo, fingerprints, regularization 2026. All in English, all 52 provinces.
Book your appointment
No payment until we find your slot.

Spain's portal releases slots in tiny batches at unpredictable hours. Here's how we fix that.

Send us a WhatsApp with your procedure (NIE, TIE, arraigo...) and your province. That's it.

What we handle
Every immigration procedure that requires an appointment at a Spanish immigration office.
NIE — Foreigner ID Number
Your first step for almost everything in Spain. Needed for a bank account, rental contract, job, or tax registration.
TIE — Residency Card
The physical card proving you live here legally. Required after your first 3 months as a non-EU national, or after visa approval.
Arraigo — Long-Term Residency
Been in Spain a few years without papers? Arraigo Social (3 years + job contract) or Arraigo Laboral (2 years + work history) is your path.
Regularization 2026
Spain opened an extraordinary regularization window for people who've been here since before December 2025. Deadline: 30 June 2026.
Moving to Spain
Retiring or relocating from the UK or US? You'll need a Non-Lucrative Visa first, then a TIE once you arrive. We handle the appointment.
Fingerprint Appointment
Required when you collect your TIE for the first time, and at each renewal. Slots vanish within seconds of being released.
What expats say
"After Brexit I needed a TIE to keep living in Spain legally. The office told me to wait months. CitaEx got me an appointment in 8 days. Worth every cent."
🇬🇧 James H.
UK — post-Brexit TIE
"I'd been trying to get a NIE for 3 months. Every time I checked the portal it said no slots. CitaEx sorted it in under two weeks. I was gobsmacked."
🇦🇺 Sarah M.
Australia — digital nomad NIE
"Moved from the US with my wife. We needed NIE and TIE for both of us. CitaEx handled it all — English instructions, fast, and cheaper than the local gestoría."
🇺🇸 Michael R.
USA — retiring in Málaga
