We will…
We get your paperwork shipshape

We chase down the cita previa
We keep watch on the Fuerteventura appointment system without let-up and grab the first real slot, so you can be out on the water instead of hammering refresh on the official portal.
We turn up with you
On the day, we head to the Puerto del Rosario office alongside you so the whole thing runs clean and you leave with your NIE sorted.

We are based on the island and handle foreigner documentation every day. We know the Puerto del Rosario office, the local town halls, and exactly how to get your file approved without endless trips.

How the NIE works in Fuerteventura
The cita previa, the documentación, the Oficina de Extranjería — answered.
The asignación de NIE in Fuerteventura follows the national route: complete the EX-15 solicitud, pay the Modelo 790-012 tasa, book a cita previa at the Oficina de Extranjería in Puerto del Rosario, and present your documentación and pasaporte at the appointment. We run the whole trámite for you from the first form to the finished number.
NIE and residencia procedures for the island are dealt with at the Oficina de Extranjería in Puerto del Rosario (administraciones públicas). The dirección, teléfono and a Google Maps link are on our contact page. Bear in mind every trámite needs a cita previa first.
The cita previa goes through the sede electrónica of the administraciones públicas (and by teléfono or SMS for certain trámites). Fuerteventura slots disappear in minutes, so we monitor the extranjería system and lock in your cita on your behalf.
The documentos necesarios are the EX-15 solicitud, your pasaporte or DNI plus a copy, proof of the reason for the request, the paid Modelo 790-012, and sometimes a certificado de empadronamiento or carta de invitación. We confirm the exact list for your case on the island.
A renovación needs a fresh cita previa at the extranjería oficina in Puerto del Rosario, the renewal solicitud, updated documentación and the right certificados. We handle the entire renovación so nothing slips past its date.
The horario of the Oficina de Extranjería in Fuerteventura is generally weekday mornings, Monday to Friday, with atención al público by cita previa only. Check the exact hours and servicio details on our contact page before any consulta.
