Working and Empadronamiento ?

NIE is enough for working in Tenerife if you are the citizen in EU.

If one moves to spain they must register.  If they are EU nationals that means registering on the EU Citizens Register.  That will be instead of applying for an NIE

If they have work or the offer of work that covers the registration form requirements of income and medical cover.

Signing on the padron is a requirement for a person living in a municipality    It has no direct connection with working

PS that's it for now as I am off to work at a national police station, assisting people with their paperwork  applications !

Hay, and thank you. Yes, that sounds reasonable, first NIE, SS and work, than empadronamiento. Yes, I am EU citizen, and will be applying for work in Tenerife.

BE AWARE THIS INFO APPLIES NOW.   
Post Brexit no one knows what will happen unit a deal or no deal is agreed. 

In the Province where I live, and several others that I have checked at random,   because of the imminent Brexit, it appears no appointments for EU Citizen Registration are currently available.

As I said, if you are moving to Spain you need EU Citizen Reg.   

if that is what you will do, if you do not have an NIE (that is the fiscal number) then you cannot apply for that but your EU Reg cert will bear a number,  which will be your NIE

If a person has an NIE when they move to Spain, then that will be he number which will appear on the EU Citizen Reg cert

I hope that is clear



This might help for when appointments can be made :-
