Renewing your Student Residence Authorization Card


 


Consult the status of your NIE application on the following link:

ATTENTION: Update on 07/07/2011

Due to a change in the art. 87.d of the RD 2393/2004, the Subdelegation of the Spanish Government has modified - starting with 23/09/2010 - the information form 51 of NIE renewal as a student, and a new document is required:

Photocopy of the medical insurance policy that covers illness and accidents during the whole stay in Spain as well as the medical expenses. With the new immigration law coming into effect at the end of June 2011, the registration in the Spanish Social Security System is accepted as medical insurance. If you have a private medical insurance and this document is from outside of European Union it has to be in Spanish, specifying the amount in Euro and it has to be legalized by the
Spanish Consulate in the country of origin.

With the new immigration law it is NOT necessary anymore to dispose of a repatriation insurance in order to apply for the renewal of the NIE, although it is strongly recommended to have this insurance as it is not covered by social security.


UAB has designed together with ACE Europe and ÓMNIBUS an insurance for incoming international students, researchers and professors of the university for 78,52¤ per year. There is also an insurance exclusively for repatriation available. More information at the end of this page.
