Hi guys can anyone help me out here.


I have been offered work in Spain however they do require me to have this.

I am in the UK at the moment so does anyone have any idea of the costs involved for this?

Is it cheaper to get it in Spain when I arrive?

Or just do it while I am back here in the UK just now?

1 of the jobs have told me it will cost me 210€ and that if I arrange for them to set it up and apply for me then they can pay half of the fee for me and the other half is paid by me, is this normal?


I looked online and showed it was only around £22 in the UK to do it myself but I couldnt see how old the post was that I was looking at.


Any help is much appreciated thanks.

Phone the Spanish consulate in Manchester. The number is at the bottom of this page:

Doesn't sound normal to me, quite the opposite, sounds suspect to the point of being a scam. 210 is way too much. Barcelona city council website gives the price as 10.40, which sounds normal.

Don't send any money in advance to anyone. You can legally start working without the NIE, though it's strongly recommended to get it asap. Do it yourself when in country.
