Hello ,

Anyone have an idea if its possible to travel within Europe with the NIE card?

My passports expired and I gotta fly ASAP.

Thanks

Wow, good question. How’d you let your passport expire!??

My hunch is no, definitely flying wise. If you’re doing trains within the continent the only issue would be if you get caught by the police and some hotels might not go for it…

Why not talk to your consulate/embassy and see if they can arrange a passport for you quick?

Thanks for getting back to me.

I had the passport for 10 years and kinda forgot about old thing 😊

Your right I think I better call the Embassy.

No worries.

Yeah, I do believe embassies can pull stops to get a passport or temp passport in a hurry.

Good luck with that and welcome to the Spain Expat forum!

Thanks for the welcome 😊

I?ll let you know how this finishes up.

It might be of use to someone in the future.

Thanks Solas, that’d be awesome.

No, you need your passport! I tried to get into Gibraltar with only my NIE and they wouldn’t let me (luckily I was just checking to see if I could and I had my passport with me). Good luck!

Gibraltar is toughest than any other European frontier though.
Best,

No. That is the format.
