We receive many queries related to the renewal procedure of the temporary residence authorization of the non-profit residence, being one of the most used by foreigners who wish to live in Spain initially without developing labor or economic activity.
Thus, the foreigner who wishes to renew his or her non-profit temporary residence authorization may submit the application in person (at any Public Registry) or by means of a representative. From Molinares Abogados we can help you to file the renewal of the residence authorization of the holder and his family members who are dependent in Spain through electronic media (Mercury Network)
It is necessary to take into account that the application must be addressed to the immigration office corresponding to the province in which you reside, if you have a digital certificate it can be done telematically, within the following deadlines:
- during the 60 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the authorization; or
- within 90 calendar days after the expiration of the authorization.
Our first recommendation in this case, is to file it in the first period of time since the Immigration Office will resolve it in less time and you will get a quicker response.
Likewise, it is pertinent to mention that the filing of the application within this period extends the validity of the extends the validity of the validity of the previous authorization until the resolution of the procedure.
The term of resolution It is also very important to note that if the Administration (Government Delegation or Subdelegation, Immigration Office) does not resolve within this period, it is understood that the resolution is FAVORABLE (positive administrative silence).
It should be remembered that the Administration does not usually issue a favorable resolution directly when there is positive administrative silence; it is the interested party itself who must request the issuance of the administrative act accrediting the renewal for this reason, so that the interested party can continue with the application for the foreigner's identity card (TIE) before the Provincial Brigade of Foreigners and Borders - National Police, within one month.
At present, we know the difficulty that exists in different Autonomous Communities to request appointments for fingerprinting for fingerprinting and issuance of the card, with which, the Offices that have the obligation to document foreigners in Spain usually have no problem if the period of one month to process the TIE is exceeded.
