maina,
you are then considered part of the diplomatic service,
i suppose you pasport is the one called the official or service passport.
this card is issued by the ministry of foreign affairs to consular personnel.
your embassy or consul must take the steps to renew it.
if they do not want to renew it. bad luck. you have to go back to your country.

do you have a regular passport?

maina,
what is your passport? diplomatic, service, official or regular?
which passport did you use for the visa?
the card substitutes the visa in the passport
but if the card is diplomatic it is not a residence card.
do you have social security number in spain?

have you talked to your embassy about the renewal of the card?
what kind of company are you working for?

maina,

if you have an official or service passport it means
**you are officially connected to your embassy.
**you do not have residence and/ work permit

if your diplomatic card is expired,
**you may be considered an illegal alien
you must have the diplomatic card renew, insist at your embassy.

are you working for an embassy official?
can you get a regular passport?

Sorry I have been reading these posts from the original poster and I just have that funny feeling….

If you are indeed a “Official Diplomat of Your Country” you should be dealing with your EMBASSY direct not a Expat site.

My feeling is that your here illegally and looking for a way to stay (Which is fine) just cut the bull of Diplomat as I personally think your speaking BS…

Either way you look at it… its better you go to your Embassy to get all your paperwork straightened out…

As any Spanish official would advise the same

definition of a diplomat:-
dip?lo?mat (dpl-mt)
n.
1. One, such as an ambassador, who has been appointed to represent a government in its relations with other governments.
2. One who uses skill and tact in dealing with others.


I am yet to see any President or diplomat ask for Diplomatic Paperwork work assistance from a Expat Forum..
Sorry… as Diplomats go straight to there embassy’s for assitance or there boss…
So you can see my point?! Security risk etc….

Next will be the UK Ambassador asking how he can renew his passport….

NOT!

maina,
the only people who can help you renew your diplomatic id is your embassy.
visas cannot be renewed.
you are now practically illegal

if you have been in spain for 4 years, you can apply for residency thru arraigo social or arraigo laboral
use your regular passport in these case. and you have to look for an employer.
do you speak spanish?

mac,
many times diplomats bring with them personal assistants or servants from their countries to their posts abroad.
these people will be carrying service or official passports, because if they carried regular passport, they would be denied visas.
