The Green NIE is a small green paper card with your NIE number (foreigner identification number). This certificate is a simple confirmation that an EU citizen is registered in the Central Registry of Foreigners in Spain.
The main reasons for obtaining Green NIE:
Pursuing education
Employment: both as an employee or as a self-employed Autonomo
What do you need to obtain Green NIE?
A few requirements separate you from obtaining a European certificate: permanent housing, medical insurance, and sufficient funds in the account.

It's possible. After the free consultation, however, you may realize that you need help with something specific.
To start, we recommend choosing one service, and adding additional ones as needed. We adapt our expertise to your specific case. At each stage, we will discuss, in advance, what assistance is needed. We prioritize flexibility and supporting you with your individual case, not just within the boundaries of a specific service package.
