 Legal warning about a possible fine:

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE PROCEDURE :

The process of renewal of the TIE card (Spanish stay for studies card) must be done during the last 60 days of validity of the card but to begin the procedure during the 90 days after the caducity of the card is also allowed.

From the month of April 2013, when the students deliver the documents for the renewal of their card later than the expiry date of it, a proceeding can be started against them for a minor infraction that is regulated by the article 52.b) of the Organic Law 4/2000, after its reforme by the Organic Law 2/2009.

This means that in case you deliver the documents for renewal of your TIE card (it is the same if your deliver them in the International Students Office of UPC or directly in the Subdelegacion del Gobierno in Barcelona) later than the date of expiry date of your card, an economic fine of up to 500 € can be applied to you.

The above mentioned fine has not been applied yet but the Spanish authorities could start to apply it at any moment.

So please, take this information into account and deliver your renewal documents before the expiry date of your card.
