: we would like to buy a static home in spain whats the nienumberand where do we go to get obtain this
Good luck on the move.
The NIE can be obtained from the Policia National in the nearest town to where you arrive, takes about a week dependant on the place you live, you`ll need a form which is obtainable from the Policia and several passport photo`s plus your passport and a photocopy.
The Numero identificacion de Extranjeros is a Tax number & is used for everything in Spain.
Its very easy to do as long as you understand basic Spanish or if the polite officer speaks English, if not then you`ll need a dictionary or someone already familiar with the form, if you get stuck you could use a Gestor, but unless you know Spanish or he knows English you may as well do the form yourself.
