Before you throw yourself under the wheels of the labour market you will need an NEI number which in short is your tax number and stays with you forever.

Just got our Residencia at Reus Police Station. Smiley   One of the easiest things we have done out here. Never mind getting up at 5.00am to queue in Tortosa and  put your name on a piece of paper. only to find when they open the doors at 8.00am (some times not start work till 11.00am) there are 20odd people in front of you ( where did they came from) and as they only process 20 per day your out of luck.  We have heard all the stories concerning the office in Tortosa that's why we went to Reus.

We got there at 10.45. Parked in the underground car park next door.   Spent 15min processing our paper work by a lady who spoke excellent English  then sent us to the Post Office next door to photo copy our Nota-Simply and the bank to pay our 21 euros ( 2 of us). Had a coffee then went back at 11.30 to do the rest of the process.
Never mind one of my bits of paper work being out of date; that was no problem she told us.  Plus having the old NIE still no problem. She even offered  to do some photo coping for us.
We came out at 12.10 with our Residencia. What a result. All done with a pleasant smile.  She said they were well aware of the problems at Tortosa.

Paper work you will need.

Escuirtura.     (Did not bother with our Cedula)
Nota simply.    ( 2 copies) another easy job at the tax office in Tortosa.
Passports.   ( 2 copies)
EHIC.   ( 1 copy)
S1 form.   (2 copies )
NIE.   (2 copies) Ours were out of date!!
Statement from your bank to say you have more than 6000euros for one person and 8500 for 2 people. But she said they were not required as we had an Escuirtura( Owner of a property ) and we were getting a pension from the UK.

So there you have it from the horses mouth. Cool Cool
