TIE appointments

That depends on whether you are doing an electronic submission for initial application or attending in person.

Either way, I wouldn’t imagine there will be any appointments now until mid-January at the earliest (Extranjeria closes mid December, won’t reopen until after 6/1)

Waiting times : from initial application it’s approximately a 6 week wait for resolution; once you receive a positive resolution you then need to make an appointment to hand in photos / do fingerprints.  Once you have done that, it is a 4 to 5 week wait to collect TIE.  Rough guess .... you are looking at around mid April before you have that Magic piece of plastic 

Thanks for the info...one thing importantly..on how many occasions is one expected to be present??

I am trying to co-ordinate a move of belongings from UK .

Thanks again

Minimum two times, three if you attend to do initial application.

Do you have anyone handling the application for you? If so they will likely do an electronic submission and get preferential appointment times
