Hi Marie,

When you apply for your driving license/TIE etc you will need to take a translator with you. I have used a lady called Jenny who also lives just outside Oria for years and would recommend. her number is 0034 660529295 she will also come to banks or doctors with you should you require. Spain is a ...

...mined field of red tape, but your get there in the end. Enjoy.

Could you let us know the contact details for CATs please? 

Thank you 

Marie & Kevin

Online banking has an english section. Re ATM your card may need to be activated prior to use

James

Thanks, we asked a passing English lady ti show us how she used it, when her card went in, she was given flags to choose her language.

She stayed while we tried and we were not getting this option.

It’s back to the Bank tomorrow 🤪😞🤣

U need to activate card using pin issued with it, then set your own pin.

Many thanks that will be extremely helpful! How much does she charge please? 

That will sort all our problems! 

Thank you! 

Marie & Kevin

I have now moved back to the UK, so I haven't used her for the last 6 months, at that time she charged 10e per hour, and she does go that extra mile. she is a lot cheaper than using someone like CATS, and its personal she can answer all sorts of questions. that you will have down the line. She is English but fluent in Spainish. and understands the system.

Thank you, only problem is, they said use the atm to activate it … I can’t use the atm, it was just available in Spanish 😞 no flag to click on, I had an English lady show me how she used it, but my card does not give any english option, the atm worked completely differ

When you need you TIE, driving license etc try CATS first.  They cover everything and are the cheapest place for driving license and they all speak English.  I am sure this will take the pressure off you just moving over.  It does seem stressful in the being but once all the paperw...

Can recommend CATS too.I got my NIE/ now a TIE as well as my Spanish driving licence through them and it make the whole process a lot simpler as believe me Spain is full of bureaucracy and jobsworths.Incidentally Elena is from UK and works in the Cajamar branch in Palomares if you really get into serious difficulties..

Hello Biggles, thank you! 

Can I ask for contact details for CATS please? email or telephone number please?

We have our NIE Certificates, but I believe we need a TIE as well, is it an identity card? 

Plus Spanish driving licence.

Many thanks
