Fun times at the NIE renewal office (which is now located-at least in my case-at Av. Padre Picquer 18, metro Campamento). Every year I get a different amount to ingresar-sometimes it´s 10.20 Euros, this time it was 16.32 (which, of course, you try to print out from the internet, and it´s impossible to find, so you have to do it on the spot like an earlier poster mentioned). I also had to photocopy the last six months of bank activity of my bank ´libreta,´ which I had, fortunately, updated at the bank before leaving for the appointment. Finally, I also got chewed out for not having information on expatriation (aka, what they do with your body if you die), even though it´s specifically written out in my letter for NIE renewal from my employer, apparently it is not mentioned in my actual MAPFRE insurance papers.
Finally, for family reasons, I am going home for spring break, and I was told I need to get an autorización de regreso, which I´ve been trying to ask for online, but apparently I need some form of número de expediente (I vaguely remember getting one in the past, but this time I wasn´t given anything back, except for a copy of the 16.32 Euro ingreso). Has anyone had to do this before, and what was their experience? I know I´ll have to pay some fee, turn in something at the comisaría nearest to where I am empadronada, and miss work again. Any input, ExpatCafésters?
