If you have the N.I.E. If you are interested in applying for a Barcelona tax number, you may be interested in this testimonial from Susanne Lee in Barcelona. The NIE number is one of the first things that new citizens in Barcelona have to take care of. Without the NIE number nothing works in Barcelona. You need the tax number to participate in normal life.
All beginnings are difficult and so it is with the NIE number in Barcelona. Once issued, it is valid for life. The NIE number identifies the foreigner in Spain as a unique person before the Spanish State.
In Catalan, the NIE tax number Barcelona is called "Número d'Identificacio per a Estrangers" and in Spanish "Número de Identidad/Identificacion de Extranjero" and is intended for non-resident foreigners, or. People who are new to Barcelona (not to be confused with tarjeta de Residencia, which is the green card for residents).
You need the N.I.E. Number if you:
- open a bank account in Barcelona
- Buy or sell a property in Barcelona or the surrounding area (house or apartment)
- apply for a mortgage.
- pay taxes in Barcelona
- Start a job / employment
