With my new UK chip encoded Passport I set out for the Spanish Consulate in Sydney this morning to apply for my NIE number. The office is on level 24 of the St Martins Tower in Market Street. I arrived at the little office expecting to wait, but there were no other people there. No sooner had I approached the counter several people came in behind me. Good timing I thought. They were very helpful and a delightful young girl completed the form for me and all I had to do was sign it. Her only question was why I wanted the NIE number and I replied that it was to buy a property, which seemed to be fine.
The application cost $13.95 and the girl said it would take about 5 days and they would email it to me.
I noticed on the little receipt they gave me that the spelling of Sydney was in fact Sidney! Is that Spanish for Sydney or a mistake I wonder?
