Legal Procedures for Students in Barcelona

At Vanguard Student Housing, we pride ourselves on facilitating a smooth and successful transition to life in Barcelona for international students. Our commitment goes beyond providing quality accommodation; we also strive to offer a full range of services designed to make the study experience in Barcelona as pleasant as possible. In partnership with Barcelona Students, we offer a series of exclusive services to simplify legal procedures and enhance the quality of life for our residents. Here is a detailed overview of what we offer:

1. What are the NIE and TIE?

NIE (Foreigner Identification Number)

The NIE is an essential identification number for European Union (EU) citizens arriving in Barcelona. Additionally, international students coming to study with a student visa also need to obtain an NIE.

TIE (Foreigner Identification Card)

The TIE is the card that certifies your legal residence in Spain as a foreign student. It is a crucial document that you must obtain to ensure your legal stay in the country.

What does our service include?

• Personalized legal advice: The team of legal experts at Barcelona Students will guide you through the entire process, ensuring you fully understand the requirements and steps to follow.

• Comprehensive file preparation: We take care of gathering and organizing all the necessary documentation for your NIE or TIE application, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.

• Administrative appointment management: We schedule and coordinate the necessary appointments at the relevant offices, thus avoiding any inconvenience in the process.

2. TIE Renewal

If you already have a TIE card and need to renew it, the renewal service is designed to make this process as smooth as possible.

What does it include?

• Continuous legal advice: Legal experts will provide you with guidance and support at every stage of the renewal process.

• Document update and preparation: They review and update all the necessary documentation to ensure a seamless renewal.

• Administrative appointment coordination: We schedule the required appointments for fingerprinting and collecting the renewed card, eliminating the hassle of doing it yourself.

3. Bank Account Opening
