Where the journey begins…
NIE Number
The NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is a crucial identification number for foreigners living in Spain. It serves as a unique identifier for various administrative and legal processes, such as opening a bank account, signing a rental contract, or registering for healthcare services. Essentially, the NIE is your key to accessing essential services and integrating into Spanish society, making it an indispensable part of your life in Spain.
Townhall Registry
Registering at the town hall (Ayuntamiento) is an essential step for anyone moving to Spain. This registration process, known as "empadronamiento," officially records your residence and grants you access to local services and benefits, such as healthcare, education, and social services. It also helps ensure your voice is heard in local matters, as it establishes your residency in the community.
Residency Card
The green residency card, or "Tarjeta de Residencia," is an essential document for EU citizens living in Spain. This card formalizes your legal status and grants you important rights, such as access to public healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. It serves as proof of your residency, making interactions with government agencies smoother and helping you integrate into your new community.
Health Card
The health card, or "Tarjeta Sanitaria," is an essential document for accessing Spain's public healthcare system. This card provides you with access to a wide range of medical services, including doctor visits, specialist consultations, and emergency care, ensuring you receive the healthcare you need as a resident. Obtaining your health card is crucial for your well-being, as it allows you to fully utilize the public healthcare resources available in Mallorca.
EMT Bus Card
The EMT bus card is your key to convenient public transportation in Mallorca, especially within the city of Palma. As a resident, in 2024 you'll benefit from free fares on the extensive EMT bus network, making it easy to explore the island, commute to work, or enjoy a day out without worrying about costs.
TIB Bus/ Train Card
The TIB bus and train card is your ticket to exploring the beautiful regions outside of Palma in Mallorca. As a resident, you'll enjoy free fares in 2024 on the TIB network, which connects you to charming towns, stunning beaches, and breathtaking landscapes across the island. This card makes it easy to venture beyond the city, allowing you to fully experience everything Mallorca has to offer without any travel costs.
