I really hoping that someone on here can help... Right here goes:
My husband and I have recently moved to Spain; I have been offered a job here and we have started the process of obtaining an NIE/ green card as we plan to be here for over 3 months. After completing the EX-18 form and complying the relevant documents we arranged an appointment at the local police station. The police officer was happy with everything that we provided and gave us a Modelo 790 form which he advised we would have to complete and take to any local bank to pay the application fee before we could be issued our NIE/ green card...
This is where the problem starts; I have taken the form to two different banks and they have both said that I need an NIE number in order for them to process the payment. I have explained on both occasions that the payment is to apply for an NIE (ticking the appropriate box on the Modelo 790) however, they have said I need an NIE in order to proceed. I've been back to the police station and been told they will not issue the NIE until I have paid SO.... I'm at a stand still with my application.
Does anyone on here have any advise or information on this process? I'm really keen to get this sorted so that I can start my new job (I cant start until I have an NIE and social security number - which I cant get until I have an NIE).
Thanks for any help you can offer!!!
