My OH is about to become a resident as they have decided to move here full time.
They applied for an NIE (non-resident type) on a visit here back in 2003, but have never lived here full time before.
They have just been offered a job and the assesores/gestores that are doing the contract, said their NIE is ‘Out of date’ and it has to be renewed.
I understood that an NIE was for life???
OK, it has the address they were renting for a few weeks back in 2003 and that is out of date (their’s had an address on, oddly mine does not??? But perhaps that is because I applied for mine same time as residencia?)
Does anyone know the rules and requirements?
PS - As add on to this, our daughter came over and got an NIE recently (thankfully all done in just 4 days!)... as she is about to buy a house here. Does this also mean her NIE will have to be renewed every 3 months!!! (I think the gestor has got their wires crossed.) :(
(I cannot see 1,000's of non-resident property owners queing to get their NIE renewed every time they visit!) ;)
