Hi All,
Checked the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st...........it's obviously not so hope this is all systems go.
Dee and Scott, I went last November with the Atlas guy to Murcia City to get my NIE number, thinking it's November no problem walk in show documentation walk back out in ten minutes and go for a beer...............boy was I wrong. We got there at 09:30 and the queue was round the building and up some side streets and there was two queues for different applications EU and non EU, not that you could tell when you join the back of the queue. The Atlas guy(Herman) went to find out where we should be and pulled some strings and took us almost to the front of the EU applicants still took us an hour but we did get some funny looks as we jumped the queue. When you get to the desk the official asks for a signature for comparison takes your documents and checks you against passport photograph, total time in front of the official 1minute. Make sure your paperwork is correct, I filled in the form using as much Spanish as possible and check you have correct local authority region, I think mine was changed to Succina.....I had filled in Balsicas.
Hope this will help cut down your waiting time.
Cheers,
Davy
