Policia-Certificados y Asignacion Nie (No Comunitarios)
What you need to know
NON-EU residents can apply for the non-residential NIE number with similar conditions as EU nationals (for administrative purposes) if they do not intend to live in Spain. One of the most important parts of the process is demonstrating you have enough justification to be granted the NIE.
The documentation is slightly more strict as for example notary letter or contrato de arras is needed in case of buying a property. Statement/letter from a notary with the reason why you are applying for the NIE.
Currently, they only accept two reasons: needing it to purchase a property and to set up a company in the Spanish territory.
You need passport, which must state that you have not exceeded your 90-day stay as a tourist in the country. If you are in the country illegally, you won’t be able to get your NIE.
