Hi Folks
I have been in Spain now for 19 months in the Asturias - I work for an IT outsourcing company ...
Anyway I have an NIE number as the Company had a rep who took me to the Police Station , Tax Office and Bank.
All very nice and efficient and easy . ....
However what was not mentioned (I have only heard this off English Colleagues at work) you ALSO need a "second" NIE via the Local Council ? I have also heard that as I still own my house in the UK, I have to declare this or be subject to a fine ?
If anyone would be kind enough to clarify all of these and any related issues I would be most grateful...
While I am here (!) My Wife came over a few months after me - we have not even enquired about getting her an NIE or the "NIE plus" - is this necessary ?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Peter
