Murcia Appointment FAQ

Is Murcia easier than Alicante for appointments?

Often yes. Murcia has fewer tourists than Costa Blanca areas like Torrevieja. Try Lorca for the best availability.

What’s the difference between NIE, TIE, and EU Registration?

NIE is just a number (for non-residents doing business in Spain). TIE is the physical card for non-EU residents with a visa. EU Registration (green certificate) is for EU citizens living in Spain over 3 months. Different procedures, same booking portal.
