A measured walk through obtaining a NIE on the island this year — the papers, the fee, the appointment, and the slips that catch people out.
A NIE on Lanzarote runs on the same national rules as the rest of Spain, but it is the island's thin supply of appointments that really decides how long the whole thing takes.
Begin by settling the grounds for your request, fill in the EX-15, pay the Modelo 790-012, then secure a cita previa. Carry both originals and copies to the Arrecife office on the day.
Files come back most often for an EX-15 filled in wrong, the wrong fee code, or no evidence of why you are applying. We go over all of it before you set foot in the office.
