A truly wonderful end to a very busy week with a heartfelt reminder of why we do what we do, and why we also love what we do. We are a small company and we always try our best to provide the best level of service within the means we have. Our gratitude and appreciation from all the team can not be expressed enough for this detailed feedback given to us by our lovely clients in Grazelema. 🥰

'We first came across Lifestyle Services when we started to try and import and register our UK car in Spain, having recently moved here. It quickly became clear that the process was completely beyond us and we were about to give up on it when we were introduced to Lifestyle Services. We were put in the hands of an incredibly efficient and friendly lady (Danielle) from Lifestyle. What followed was a steady stream of clear and concise advice and guidance, mostly by email but backed up by phone calls when necessary, which took us step by step through the process. All documentation was collated on our behalf and appointments with the authorities were made, with an English speaking advisor available on the end of a phone if required. With Lifestyle doing the heavy lifting the process couldn't have been smoother and we were pleasantly surprised at the level of fees - and there were no hidden extras.

After such a positive experience, when our visas and TIE (ID) cards came up for renewal we decided to move on from the lawyers we had initially used (pleasant but expensive and a bit chaotic) and put the whole thing in the hands of Lifestyle. Again, the fees quoted were very reasonable (way below those of the lawyers) and a team of two ladies (Holly and Suzanne) took up our case. The experience was just as easy and pleasant as we had had dealing with the car; friendly step by step advice and guidance, super-efficient support with all our questions and emails replied to almost immediately and always with patience and good humour. Again, all our appointments were made for us (and somehow the ladies at Lifestyle seemed to get them quicker than our lawyers had managed) and the whole thing went through without a hitch and much quicker than we had anticipated or been warned to expect. A superb service.

We must add a personal note here: during the above process one of us had a serious medical emergency, which involved immediate hospitalisation. This inevitably caused some disruption and appointments required cancelling and remaking at short notice. The ladies at Lifestyle not only took all this in their stride, they were also a constant reassurance for both of us with regular kind messages and offers of support. Not only an incredibly efficient service but also an extraordinarily caring one and something we will always be grateful for.

The same team are now organising our S1 Spanish healthcare applications, which are typically convoluted and complicated but are being dealt with in the same no-fuss, efficient manner.

In conclusion: as can probably be gathered from what we have said above, we cannot praise the services and personnel of Lifestyle Services highly enough. As long as we remain in Spain they will be the first people we call on to deal with any bureaucracy or officialdom, or indeed crisis, on our behalf. Our only regret is that we did not come across them two years ago when we started the process of moving out here; with them handling it we have no doubt it would have been a lot smoother and less stressful!

⚠️🪪Clarification of TIE renewals for Brexit Withdrawal agreement TIEs.🇬🇧

What we know to date.

We have spoken directly with the police and immigration offices in Málaga province and they have advised us of the following.

There are 2 situations for those with WA TIE's that were issued for 5 years in 2020, that are now reaching their expiry. (Note depending on how these processes go they could be subject to change at any time)

1️⃣Those that had a green residency card/certificate before Brexit.

At the expiry date of your TIE you will have already at some point since the card was issued passed your 5 year mark as a temporary resident and will now already automatically show as a permanent resident in the system.

In this situation you can renew your card directly at the national police station or foreigners office. The process is straight forward and you can make an appointment up to 30 days before the expiry of your TIE.

2️⃣Those that were issued a WA TIE as their first residency.

Until you reach your 5 year anniversary/expiry date on the TIE you will not have passed your 5 year temporary residency to enable you yet to be issued a new TIE for permanent residency. In this situation you have 2 options.

Option 1 - Wait until your TIE card expires and you have then passed your 5 years as a temporary resident. In this situation once you have passed 5 years, you should then be able to renew your card directly at the national police station or foreigners office. This is because the system will not allow you to renew the card with out a prior authorisation from immigration where the original application was made until you have passed the 5 year temporary residency.

Option 2 - You can make a prior application through immigration either online or in person to apply for an authorisation before your card expires to update from a temporary to permanent resident. In this situation you still need to wait until the card expires before you can renew it.

Automatic renewal of any TIE card is only possible once you already have permanent residency status. As a permanent resident you are only renewing the actual card and not your status, which is why the card for anyone that has already passed 5 years can be renewed in before the expiry. As a temporary resident you do not have an automatic right to permanent residency until you have met the legal terms of temporary residency and the period of 5 years has passed. The officials can also ask those that are changing from temporary to permanent residency to provide proof that they have met the legal terms of a temporary resident.

❌At the moment we are not offering any services to new clients for the WA renewals.

ℹ️If you are an existing client once we have confirmation of our process we will make a further announcement with more information and for those that would like a guide on the process to organise themselves you can drop us an email to request one.

‼️The police are inundated with applicants and not enough resources to cope. It is very important that people note the timeframes to apply and do not waste appointments by booking then before you can apply. There are going to be delays with appointments and alot of resilience and patience will be needed.

Until the first cards start to be processed we have no further information at this point and have to see how this revolves. As soon as we know more we will make further updates.

We share with you the latest change in process for exchanging your driving licence for a Spanish one, directly from the DGT publification last week.

The new process has been in trial over the last month or so and is now fully operation to everyone. Hopefully the changes will help make the process run more smoothly for applicants exchanging their licences, especially in the areas where appointments are not readily available.

English Translation

📢 A new DGT process is now available to people from countries with which Spain has signed a bilateral agreement on reciprocal recognition and exchange of driving licenses.

➕ STREAMLINED: The digital service streamlines the processing of the procedure that, until now, was the most complex for drivers, while also allowing for more in-person appointments at traffic headquarters for other procedures.

➕ EASY: The new procedure is initially completely online by submitting copies of all the required documents. Once the application is authorised the applicant will be notified to go to the corresponding Provincial Traffic Headquarters to hand in their original, valid, and current driving license and collect their provisional authorization to drive in Spain. Payment for the application is made online by bank transfer. An initial justificante will be issued once the application is submitted online.

✅ REQUIREMENTS: The new processing system requires that the applicant is registered with Cl@ve or has a digital certificate, they can also authorise another person to act as their representative. The process is now available on the digital site: https://ow.ly/eAf350VVBib

📢 NOVEDAD: La acaba de poner en marcha el servicio de canje digital de permisos de conducción‼️Disponible para las personas procedentes de países con los que España haya firmado un Convenio bilateral de reconocimiento recíproco y canje de permisos de conducción.

➕ AGILIDAD: Este servicio digital agiliza la tramitación de un procedimiento que, hasta ahora, era el más complejo en el ámbito de conductores, a la vez que permite disponer de más citas presenciales en las jefaturas para otros trámites.

➕ FACILIDAD: El nuevo procedimiento es totalmente online. El usuario solo tendrá que acudir a la Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico correspondiente para entregar su permiso de conducción original, válido y en vigor, y recoger su autorización provisional para conducir en España.

✅ REQUISITOS: Este nuevo sistema de tramitación requiere que el ciudadano esté dado de alta en Cl@ve o disponga de certificado digital, o bien que autorice a otra persona para que actúe como su representante. Ya en nuestra sede digital: https://ow.ly/eAf350VVBib
