Hello. I signed onto the forum today but have often visited.
Anyway, on to my question. I am in Spain looking at property to buy. In order to purchase a car and property I was advised I needed an NIE number. The gestoria I consulted completed paperwork which resulted in my being given a Residencia with NIE. My bank (SolBank) has advised me to deny the Residencia as all I need at the moment is the NIE and having the Residencia requires me to pay tax in Spain which I really don’t want to get involved with at the moment because I have not started earning any money here yet. Please can you advise me on how to deny the Residencia?
