Hello guys,

As of today, the moneies I transfereed is finally in my Santander account.

I'd like to thank people here that help me through this and I will write a step-by-step guide how to get a certificado de no residente from experience.

I went to Algeciras extranjero office to apply for a certificado de no residente en Espana (9 June). As I already made an appointment (you have to call one day before to make an appointment), I didn't have to wait at all. I just gave my passport number and they located my NIE from the system. I filled in the application form (actually I prepared it at home already) and used my gib home address. Then they filled in tasa 012 so that I could go to a bank to pay. It was €6.96.

I returned to the office and gave the receipt. They told me to come back next Monday and also gave me a number to call to find out if it's ready or not. I called the same week Friday (13 Jun) and they told me it's ready for collection.

So I went back to the office on Monday 16 June and showed my passport. They gave me the certificate and then the same day I presented it to the bank. And the bank told me it would take 1-2 days to unblock and inform me of that. One particular guy at the bank (forget the other two idiots who bounced me around with the wrong information) was very helpful, I wish I had dealt with him from the beginning!, and he emailed me yesterday 'Buenos días, Con fecha de hoy he verificado que su cuenta no tiene ningún bloqueo.' 

I transfereed some fund immediately yesterday afternoon and today I see the monies in the account.
Gosh...finally it's done and dusted. I've got some bills coming out on 7 July and my balance was below €20!

It was a hassel but anyway now I don't need to bother for a few years I guess. If anyone in Cadiz area who's in the same situation, and need further information, let me know. I will do my best to help!

Happy Friday to all!

Hi johnzx,

I also called two Comisarias, one in La Linea and the other in Algeciras.

I got two slightly different answers - maybe the procedure varies per each police station. :

La Linea - Fill in the form and come between 9-12 (there might be a long queue), you pay the fee at the bank and you come again three days later to pick up. You need a domicilio en Espana, people use a hotel address or friend's address, but you need a Spanish address. You can only apply for this certificate from the same localidad police station where your domicilio is.

Algeciras: Just turn up with your passport & a copy and some cash. But you need to make an appointment by calling this number xxx. Call this number one day before you want to come, between 10-12 in the morning. We will provide you with an application form and a fee form, so best come first and fill in here. You don't need a Spanish address, use your address in your home country. It takes around 1/2hr and you need to come back 3-4 days later to pick up your certificate.

I will probably call next week and go to Algeciras - I spoke to two gentlemen to make sure I understood correctly. Both of them sounded very kind and competent which put me at ease a lot.

I will do ask for a complaint form if there's a further issue.

Thank you for your interest and help in this matter.

johnzx,

As seen below, payments are ok, I have a problem with receipts and my balance is going low for direct debits. I can check the movements of my account online. I've recently sent some money to the bank (as he said my account was unblocked) but it's not credited. I'm sure it will return as it's blocked for 'ingresos'.

LA CUENTA ESTA OPERATIVA PARA RECIBIR DEBITOS , PERO NO ESTA OPERATIVA PARA REALIZAR INGRESOS HASTA QUE NOS PRESENTE LA DOCUMENTACION REQUERIDA.,

Hello Maria & all,

As of now, I haven't heard anything yet from the bank.
I added in the fax to contact me by the email, but nothing.
(I don't think my account is unblocked, then again I cannot check.)

Considering I haven't got much time till my bank balance runs dry, I will have to make my mind up quickly on the next move. I'm also checking with the police station as to what I need to do.

I will keep you posted here.

Once again, thank you Maria.
