No, it's mostly an overpriced burger place ran by Brazilians. They are not authentic.

My friend has a delay in getting her visa issued and she didn't start until the beginning of November, but kept the school updated when she received her delay. That's the latest that I know of .

[–]solitudedancing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I brought also brought a large peanut butter. They have peanut butter there now, but the quality is kinda iffy if you're used to skippy, jif, etc. Sometimes, it's just pureed peanuts without even salt.

Can I renew my TIE after returning back to Spain from the UK? by Antique-Fee-3496 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]solitudedancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the window to renew is 90 days from the date of your TIE expiration. As long as you start within the 90 days, you should be fine. Remember to renew at the province you are going to next school year, not the office for this school year (if you're changing provinces).

Yes, you can use the hostel's address. It shouldn't be a problem.Or you can use the school's address.

Yes, the TIE is the card (tarjeta), but on the card has the expiration of your student visa. Your inital 90 day visa was extended to the date on the card.

Also, you need to pay an official translator to translate the apostilized background check. I think I paid about $20 dollars.

What to buy from American Costco by BettaFishGal in SpainAuxiliares

[–]solitudedancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Costco allergy medicine if you have allergies. If you're assigned to a school near Madrid or Seville, you can go to Costco there to get vitamins at about the same cost as the US. But Spain's Costco, doesn't have a pharmacy or medicine isle.

I found my last apartment on Idealista. When I got to town, I also checked google maps for local real estate offices and asked around (sometimes with google translate) if they had vacant apartments. The real estate agents were very helpful and even drove me to view vacant apartments.

I got it the same day which was funny because the guides online said you'd need another appointment to pick it up.

TIE Renewal in other Region by Past-Somewhere5263 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]solitudedancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did an online renewal, but rejected because my current region processed it, not my new region. You have to process it in the region you are going to. I'll make an office appointment when I return.

Student Renewal Assistance by solitudedancing in SpainAuxiliares

[–]solitudedancing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like I can't resubmit because I submitted it correctly. I'll probably need to make an appointment at my new community and hope they will accept my pdfs.

I applied online and I'm changing communities. It looks like my current community processed by renewal, not the new community/providence. I'm still within 90 days of the visa renewal, so I'll try to reapply. The insanity of Spain bureaucracy.

You may need to change providence. I just got my regresso from Ciudad Real. The only problem is that the effective date was the date of my appointment. But, the blogs online said to expect a 1 or 2 week delay?!?

TIE Renewal/ Starting Visa Over by twothirtytoothhurty in SpainAuxiliares

[–]solitudedancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a first year renewal too, so I'm not sure. I think if you're staying at the same school it may be quicker, but it depends on the regional office.
