STEPS TO GET NIE AND SOCIAL SECURITY IN SPAIN


 

1.   What is a NIE?
A N.I.E. is the abbreviation for Número de Identidad de Extranjero, which translates as "Identification Number for Foreigners" in Spain. The NIE is an identification number provided by the Spanish Government. You can obtain your NIE only once you reach to Spain. If you are given a student visa, your NIE will be issued on your visa.

For instance, your NIE will be asked to you in the following cases:
1. You want to rent a flat, car, etc.
2. You are selected for a job/internship. 
3. You want to open up a bank account.

Good news: The NIE number provided to you belongs to you and has no expire date.
