The TIE card on Menorca

The TIE — Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero — is the photo ID card that every non-EU resident of Menorca is meant to carry. It sets out your NIE, the kind of residence permit you hold and how long it lasts, all on a single card.

Who is asked to hold a TIE

Any non-EU national staying in Spain longer than six months — to work, to study, to join family or to live on passive means — must obtain a TIE once their visa or residence authorisation has been approved.

The fingerprint appointment

You book a "toma de huellas" slot, attend in person with your photos, your EX-17 form and the paid fee, give your fingerprints, and collect the finished card a few weeks afterwards. On Menorca that booking is the slow part, and the one we manage for you.

In Menorca

Most the tie residence card requests across the Balearic Islands pass through the Menorca office. We know exactly what they ask for — and we accompany you, whether you live in central Menorca or out in Ferreries.

Frequently asked questions

The card is valid for the same period as your residence permit — generally one to five years — and you must renew it before that date passes.
