Can you leave Spain without TIE?

If the loss occurs while you are in Spain and you must leave before the duplicate is received, the law provides for autorización de regreso. Under article 5 of RD 1155/2024, the owner of the existing TIE may obtain it when he steals, loses, destroys or damages a card if he proves that he has applied for the duplicate. The period of validity is not more than 90 days; the number of entry and exit is not limited; entry is permitted only through Spanish border crossings. It is submitted in person on EX-13 form with payment for module 790, code 012. If travel is necessary, the application is considered as a priority. [1][4].

Part that is easily missed: In the absence of a solution, the autorización de regreso is considered rejected (dessetimatorio) [4]So don't buy tickets until you get the document. autorización de regreso.

If the card is lost abroad, the order depends on the consulate. [6]For your country, the rules may be different.

What's the status as you wait for a new card?

TIE under article 209 RD 1155/2024 - document identifying and confirming the legal status of the alien; as long as it is not in place, status is based on a decision on authorization and on confirmation that the application for duplicated is submitted [1]The EX-17 form is provided in two copies and includes a place for registration [3]Please return the copy of the note: this is your confirmation that the application has been filed. For autorización de regreso, the law expressly requires proof that the application for duplicate has been filed, so you can keep the application and the payment receipt together. [1].

How many new cards are produced, official sources do not call them: the duration depends on the police station and the province. If you need to confirm the status of the employer, bank or lessor, you should be guided by the original permit and the application, and the host party should decide how it is to accept it.

How to Not Lose TIE Again

Under article 209.3 RD 1155/2024, the personal and non-transferable cards are kept and kept by the owner [1]This means, in practical terms, keeping separate scans from both parties, the electronic permit decision and the NIE number, don't leave the plastic in the lease, from third parties and in the things you're keeping. The scanner is needed for the duplicate application and for the confirmation of the deadline, but it does not replace the card. Do not give the original to the intermediaries: if you need help with the record, there are enough copies.

Typical errors in the replacement of TIE

• They've been waiting too long. As long as there's no duplicate, any document verification or travel is complicated.
• Trying to get online. EX-17 allows only personal filing [3].
• They pay the wrong fee. You need a code 012 for the application. [2].
• They buy tickets to autorización de regreso. If you keep quiet, the agency is considered as having refused. [4].
• They don't take a burglary report. It records the circumstances and the consulate in Casablanca requires it in an instruction on loss abroad [6].
• They don't watch the permit period. If the permit is soon to end, the procedure may become an extension. [1].

When Individual Review Is Needed

You need an individual assessment if the permit is over in the coming months, you have an extension or change of base, you are abroad, you have no status documents, and if the card belongs to a child or family with multiple permits, in which case the procedure and documents may differ and the error is worth recording and time. Tax and payment questions are better discussed with the speaker and the status with the lawyer.
