Hello,
So I've searched high and low on the internet and on this forum but have not been able to find the right advice. Hopefully someone here can help.
Basically, I was briefly working in Spain a couple of years ago (only for a month in Cadiz) and so obtained a NIE and Social Security number, but not a card (and therefore no proof of residency?)
Anyway, I recently moved back, this time to Barcelona, and have been using that NIE to set me up with the basics.
My question is: is there an easy way to 'convert' the number into a residency card? When looking through the advice on here it's all about getting a new number and card, but I only need the card. I don't want to make a fresh application as that could complicate things given your passport number is linked to your NIE.
Also, I work freelance, which seems to complicate things further given i can't easily produce a letter of employment for my interview.
Any advice much appreciated.
