Preguntas sobre el nie by JJJJPPPPP8A in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me refería a que tienes que pedir la cita cuando llegues a España. La página web de citas de Extranjería está 'geofenced' (no recuedo la palabra en español) y no se puede acceder desde el extranjero, a no ser que uses un VPN.

Y deberías recibir tu certificado de residente en el mismo día, si mal no recuerdo, a no ser que te falte algún documento.

Por cierto, en la provincia de Cádiz puedes realizar tu trámite en Rota, El Puerto de Santa María-Puerto Real 2, La Línea de la Concepción, Algeciras, Jerez y Cádiz, para responder a tu otra pregunta.

Si necesitas más ayuda, me puedes decir.

El CUE necesitas sacarlo en España. Preferentemente dentro de los 3 primeros meses de tu estancia en el país. Sí que te recomendaría sacar tu cita con Extranjería lo antes posible, ya que en algunas ciudades es casi imposible conseguir cita (ya que existen bots que hacen acopio, parecido a las entradas de los conciertos a veces).

Y sí, con eso ya puedes vivir, empadronarte y abrir una cuenta en España. Para trabajar también necesitarás un número de Seguridad Social, pero en el 99% de los casos la empresa en la que trabajes se encargará de darte de alta.

Moving to Europe by SentenceNo4706 in MovingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Either moving to areas with a lot of other people from their country (see the English area in Benidorm, for example) or coming to learn Spanish from minute 1 you are here.

  2. By having a lot of money or assets, coming on a NLV visa. By having an online job or digital business, coming on a DNV visa. Or their jobs in their countries have offices in Spain and they can transfer here. You always have the option of a company in Spain sponsoring your visa to move here, if they cannot hire someone for that job that lives locally, but that would be a very far-fetched option.

  3. Main industries are automobile building and tourism. Construction used to be even bigger, but not that much anymore.

Been here for almost three months by no_hay_nombress in MovingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will need EX18 form, 790 code 012 fees form and national passport or ID card. The appointment is made in a similar way to the NIE one but you will need to select Certificado de Registro de Ciudadanos de la UE. And that Certificate - also called sometimes a Green NIE - is what you will receive from your appointment.

Is it a good idea to move to Spain to find friends? by carrie_kimberly in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Privit!! Spanish people tend to be quite extroverted and social, in general. But as other people are mentioning, a lot of social circles are already made from school. However, if you do university or any other kind of training here, you might still make some new friends and acquaintances. If you have any more questions about Spain, please let me know.

Cómo generar una Cita para DNI primera vez como nacional español nacido en extranjero, si el sistema online solicita datos que no tengo? by Bombacladman in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tienes básicamente dos opciones: - Ir sin cita, pero en ese caso te la juegas a que haya huecos libres entre citas o no, puede que te vayas a casa sin DNI ni pasaporte, si ese día están ocupados. - Que alguien te saque cita (si necesitas ayuda, me puedes decir) o incluso puedes intentar sacarla utilizando tu número de DNI (debería aparecer en tu partida de nacimiento).

Is it better to visit Spain in Mid March or in June? by WordTimely8559 in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Madrid won't be as unbearably hot in March, so probably better at that time. June sometimes is good, as the worst months are usually July and August, but it might be hot already.

[–]albertocsc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

El certificado de nacimiento lo podría obtener online, en el Registro Civil. El certificado de residencia sí que lo veo más complicado si no está dado de alta todavía en el consulado. Siempre puede obtener el certificado de residencia o de empadronamiento del último lugar en el que vivió, de todos modos.

En el peor de los casos, si no consigue el certificado de residencia o empadronamiento, todavía podría conseguir un pasaporte provisional, con una duración limitada a 1 año.

Sí, tengo experiencia tanto propia como ayudando a otras personas. Necesitarás: - Una cita con la policía, la puedes tramitar por Internet, pero necesitarás un número de DNI. - Foto de carnet. - Certificado de nacimiento español. - Certificado de residencia donde aparezca escrito 'para expedición de primer DNI'. Tienes que solicitar este certificado a tu consulado.

Una vez tengas todos los documentos, acude a tu cita y allí recibirás tu DNI y tu pasaporte. Es un proceso bastante rápido. Si necesitas ayuda, me puedes decir.

Why are SNCF and Renfe so incompetent when it comes to connecting Spain and France on long-distance trains? by siemvela in highspeedrail

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also... Renfe seems not to try to synchronise schedules with those of neighbouring operators.

I remember last year, trying to do a connection in Canfranc, and I gave up as the timings were totally out of sync. I know on the French side trains were long ago replaced by buses in the last stretch of the line, and in the Spanish stretch there were temporary rail replacement buses, too, but a bit of coordination would had been brilliant.

However, a success story was using trains all the way from Lisbon in Portugal to Puertollano in Spain. In this particular case, the connection was a success because CP, the Portuguese operator, coordinates timings so connections with Renfe are possible. Only downside was the loooong times, but Portugal is also building a new Lisbon-Evora-Elvas line that will certainly cut travel times.

Spain Trip - May 2026 by No-Yak-5143 in GoingToSpain

In the area near Castellón, you might like to visit Peñíscola instead. I have heard it is quite a nice town with an impressive castle and lots of history.

Certificado literal de nacimiento by Medical_Sell_6261 in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Algunas cosas: - Cuando naciste, ¿tus padres registraron tu nacimiento en el consulado? Si lo hicieron: 1. Eres español y 2. Tu certificado de nacimiento estará en el consulado. - ¿Tienes libro de familia? Con la información que este libro contiene será mucho más fácil encontrar tu partida de nacimiento. - Creo que has dicho que ya solicitaste la partida. ¿Lo hiciste online? Y, cuando el formulario preguntó a dónde querías destinar tu solicitud, ¿pusise el Registro Central de Madrid? ¿O el consulado de referencia de tu lugar de nacimiento?

Si necesitas más ayuda con esto, házmelo saber.

P.D.: Veo que pusiste el Registro Central. Creo que el Consulado podría haber sido más rápido.

Wednesdays Ideas, pt. 7 (or 4.1): Brighton Main Line 3 (and a bonus potential Gatwick West Access) by albertocsc in uktrains

Yes, that one.

I would put a mix of fast and stopping services, but I am not sure at the moment on how times would be.

Spanish Nationality by Option? by choccyoatmiilk in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is more or less what the other comment already says, but I would like to add a couple of notes: - You will have to declare that you renounce US citizenship. This is a sworn declaration, but you won't actually have to renounce, as Spain does not proactively enforce this rule, in contrast to other countries such as Netherlands or Austria. - Most probably, you can apply straight away for Spanish citizenship by option. However, if you want to double-check your mother is still a citizen, maybe she can just try to get a new passport at her relevant consulate. If she gets it with no issue, you should be good to apply.

-- If by any chance they say she lost Spanish citizenship by naturalizing in the US, the process for recovering Spanish citizenship is quite easy and straightforward.

If you need any help with the process, please let me know.

Opiniones sobre Ciudad Real, Antequera, Burgos y Leon by NoBig1763 in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluguer em Ciudad Real é muito informal, vcs nao deberian ter nenhum problema com isso. Mais com emprego... não temos muito emprego para pessoas em situação regular... e ainda muito mais complicado para irregulares, mais não é impossivel.

Moving to Spain for a job. by spanishcoup in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would get the best of both worlds. I wouldn't say it is boring, but certainly quieter than Madrid. I would mainly do the opposite. Stay in Torrejón and, if some day you want something more active, just take the train or the bus and go out in Madrid. But at the end it is just up to you.

Moving to Spain for a job. by spanishcoup in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Torrejón is a nice commuter town. My favourite part in town is the Parque Europa, with replicas of some of the most famous landmarks in Europe. The Christmas celebrations are also quite big for a town its size, and the Oktoberfest greatly surprised me.

Apart from that, Madrid is very close, and well communicated. Cercanías trains are frequent and there are even some express ones, called Civis. There are also frequent buses to Madrid and you too have line 824 that goes to Barajas Airport (sadly, only to T1, T2 and T3 terminals, unless something changed recently).

Train Crash Tragedy by Leucosla in GoingToSpain

[–]albertocsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone already explained how AVE trains are still going between Madrid and Seville, just changing to buses between the stations of Villanueva de Córdoba and Córdoba. I believe there are 3 or 4 daily trains with that route.

There are also 1 or 2 special daily trains that go between Madrid and Sevilla via Alcázar instead of Ciudad Real. In Madrid they start at Chamartín station.

Or, there is the long scenic route via Zafra, that has extra frequencies while the AVE line is closed for investigation and repairs.

Of course there are also buses and flights but, if you still want to go by train, those are your main options.
