Hello folks !

Actually I live in Marocco and I'd like to buy a spanish flat this year. It is posible If I don't have a NIE ??

No. A property is taxable and therefore an NIE is compulsory.

Hi Doster, the NIE is required for all kind of investment in Spain. Otherwise there is a new reform law of immigration planned that will give a residence permit for the foreigners who would buy a property for 160 000 euros.

What many foreigners don't know is that nowadays already exist different alternatives to obtain a residence permit for those who acquire a property in Spain ( non lucrative residence, Shengen visa of a long duration)
