Palma Appointment FAQ
Can I book on a different Balearic island?
Yes. All Balearic Islands appointments are in the same province (Illes Balears). You can book in Ibiza or Menorca if Mallorca is full.
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.
