Manage your TIE, forms, and appointments
The complete guide to getting your TIE residency card in Barcelona.
The official TIE process has six steps — empadronamiento, cita previa, forms, fees, and more — and it's easy to miss one. VisaMesa turns each step into a clear checklist with document lists and plain-language guidance, so you always know what to do next and what you've already finished.
Empadronamiento and cita previa slots in Barcelona can vanish in minutes, especially in peak season. With our service, VisaMesa watches official booking sites from your phone and alerts you when a slot opens, with guided in-app assistance to help you secure the appointment — so you're not stuck refreshing pages all day.
Enter your passport, visa, and address once in your encrypted profile. VisaMesa uses those details to pre-fill the EX-17, Modelo 790, and government booking forms — you review, print, and sign knowing nothing was copied wrong.
One payment on our website unlocks the full service — step-by-step guidance, form pre-fill, and appointment assistance. No App Store subscription or hidden renewals: pay once, sign in with the same Google account in the app, and start your TIE journey.
