We are hoping to move to Barcelona mid-September, but we’re still awaiting visa approval. It’s been 3 months, but I’ve heard we might be waiting much longer…
The problem is that if we don’t leave in September, we will have to postpone everything by several months (I won’t bother explaining why).
Here’s my question: would it be ok for us to plan to leave for Spain mid-September - visa or no visa? We would just go using our passports for up to 90 days, then when we get notified that our visas have been approved, we will come back to the US to pick them up, then return to Spain to become residents. Any reasons why this wouldn’t work???
Last question - is it possible to get a NIE number without having a visa?
Thanks everyone!
