Most of the form is in English/ Spanish except for one box. I have tried the translation sites, but they are no help. Can anyone tell me what I should put in the box marked "Modalidad" please? Thanks Mark _______________________ Marksfish (My fishkeeping homepage) Apartment Rental Almeria (Our apartment) Spam post? If so please click here to report it

It's to do with classifications and groups so it depends in what context it is being asked. Justin _______________________ Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Basically the boxes from left to right are: Surname, First names Passport Number Modalidad I thought maybe it was Mr/ Mrs/ Miss??

19 Jul 2007 3:23 PM FibbyUK Villa I'm in UK, Surrey & Playa Flamenca, Costa Blanca I've made 1867 posts Send private message to FibbyUK	Hi Marksfish, i think it's to say which number you have written in the box to the left. i.e the box on the left asks for NIE or Passport number, so whichever you write in, you must then state in the "modalidad box, which this is, passport or NIE number. In Justin's transalation of form, meaning in which "form" does this number take.....what is this number, get it???!!!!! Good luck! _______________________ FibbyUK http://www.payingtaxesinspain.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Spam post? If so please click here to report it
19 Jul 2007 3:43 PM Marksfish Villa I'm in Leeds, West Yorkshire/ Puerto Rey, Vera., Almeria I've made 1092 posts Send private message to Marksfish	Okay, so I am assuming I would need to write "passport" in this space as it would be the passport number we would be using. Many thanks :) Mark _______________________ Marksfish (My fishkeeping homepage) Apartment Rental Almeria (Our apartment) Spam post? If so please click here to report it

I can't see the document too well, but I think it said NIF/Passport number. (or NIE number, some use NIF and some use NIE, but are both the same thing) Anyone else got any thoughts for Markfish on this??? Good luck, i am sure they will chuck it back at you if it's wrong!

I would put "UK Passport" or something similar. _______________________ "For I am a bear of very little brain, and long words bother me" Winnie the Pooh Spam post?
