TIE HoyRenew long-term residence TIE Spain
A practical guide to renewing the physical TIE card for your long-term residence status.
Do I renew long-term residence every five years?
Long-term residence is not handled as a temporary-permit renewal. The TIE card expires, so follow the renovación de tarjeta process when the card reaches expiry.
What happens if my TIE expires?
Card expiry does not necessarily end your status, but leaves you without a current document proving it. Start the replacement process promptly.
What to do
Renew the card before expiry; do not treat it as residence renewal.
Steps
- Check the TIE expiry date
- Prepare document and photos
- Check the applicable fee
- Book toma de huellas
- Keep proof of filing
Basis
Royal Decree 1155/2024, Article 173: documentation of long-term residence.
