Residence Renewal in Valencia
Your permit is about to expire and you live in Valencia: the renewal is filed with the foreigners' office here, and then a new card follows. We file on time, follow the case and book your new TIE.
What it is
Most temporary authorisations can be renewed from Spain. Under the Immigration Regulation (Royal Decree 1155/2024, for example articles 64, 80 and 86), you apply during the two months before your authorisation expires; an application filed within the three months after expiry is still accepted, although a penalty procedure may be opened. In Valencia province, residence and work authorisations are handled by the Oficina de Extranjería of the Subdelegación del Gobierno. Many renewals can be filed electronically, without visiting the office.
After five years of legal residence you may be eligible for long-term residence. Once the renewal is approved, you apply for a new TIE at the police: in Valencia city, fingerprints and collection are at the Comisaría de Patraix (Calle Gremis, 6).
Who it is for
- Non-lucrative residents renewing in Valencia.

Frequently asked questions
When should I start my renewal?
As early as the window allows: the two months before expiry. That gives time to gather documents.
My permit expired last month. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. There is a grace period after expiry, although late filing can lead to a penalty. Contact us immediately.
Do I have to go to the foreigners' office in Valencia?
Many renewals can be filed online. You will still need to attend the police for the fingerprints of your new card.
Can I travel while my renewal is pending?
There are specific rules for travel during renewal. Check with us before booking trips.
