TIE HoyWork route renewal — match evidence to employment
Use this when your residence depends on employee or self-employed work and the evidence must match the route.
What decides a work renewal?
The file must prove the work route still fits.
For employee work, Article 80 centers on employment continuity or enough activity with a new contract.
Can I keep working after filing?
Yes, filing in the legal window provisionally extends work authorization until resolution.
If the renewal is denied, that provisional work authorization ends automatically.
Conclusion
A work renewal is not a generic TIE renewal. The evidence must show that your employment or self-employment route still matches the authorization you hold.
Employee route evidence
Article 80 allows renewal through continuity of the employment relationship or enough activity with a new contract. Do not treat every contract change as identical.
Effects of filing and approval
Filing in time extends the previous authorization and provisional work rights until resolution. Article 81 gives a renewed authorization of 4 years and broader work activity nationwide.
Self-employment is separate
Self-employment renewal is governed by a different route. Use the self-employment sheet and do not copy employee-route evidence into a cuenta propia file.
What to do
Make the employment evidence match the authorization route, not the card.
Bring
- Authorization type
- Current or new contract
- Social Security/work activity evidence
- Employer or business documents
- Filing receipt
- Resolution notice
- TIE card appointment documents
Steps
- Identify whether your authorization is employee work or self-employment.
- Collect evidence of continuity, activity period, contract or business route according to the correct sheet.
- File during the 2 months before expiry when possible.
- Keep the filing receipt and watch for resolution before changing facts again.
- After approval, complete the card step with the renewed authorization.
Basis
Art. 80 regulates renewal requirements, filing effects, provisional work authorization and the 3-month resolution rule for employee work renewal. Art. 81 sets the 4-year renewal effect and nationwide work scope.
More questions
Does silencio positivo matter?
Yes. Article 80 sets a 3-month resolution period and positive silence, but verify no express denial exists.
Is self-employment identical?
No. Cuenta propia has different provisions and evidence. Use the self-employment sheet for that route.
Do I use the card appointment first?
No. For temporary work residence, resolve the authorization renewal before the new TIE card step.
