💳 RENEWAL OF LARGA DURACIÓN CARD

​

If you already hold a Larga Duración residence permit and it’s about to expire, it’s time to renew your card (TIE).

​

The good news? 🎉 Once you have Larga Duración, your residence authorization never expires — you only need to renew the physical card at the National Police.

​

It’s a quick and easy process, and our team can prepare everything for you! 👇

​

🗓️ When Can You Renew It?

​

According to the current regulation (Article 185 RD 1155/2024):

​

• The first renewal of your TIE is after 5 years.

• The second and later renewals are also every 5 years, until you turn 30.

• From age 30 onwards, renewals are done every 10 years.

​

🕒 Application period:

​

• Within the 2 months before your card expires, or

• Within the 3 months after its expiration.

​

💡 If you renew within these time limits, your old card remains valid until the new one is issued — you can keep living and working legally during that time.

​

📅 How Long Will the New Card Be Valid?

​

Your new Larga Duración TIE will be valid for:

​

• 5 years (if you’re under 30), or

• 10 years (once you’re 30 or older).

• ​

⚠️ When You Cannot Renew

​

Your residence status is permanent, but your card renewal must meet a few conditions.

You cannot renew if:

​

❌ You try to renew while living abroad — renewal must be done in Spain.
❌ You have been outside Spain and the EU for more than 12 consecutive months.

​

💡 If you have been away too long, contact us — we can guide you on how to recover your Larga Duración status through the correct legal procedure.
