Residence Permit Renewal in Valencia

As long as the renewal has been filed on time and is being processed, your situation remains regular even if your card has expired. The problem appears when the filing window passes, and putting it right after that is much harder.

We take care of calculating your dates, preparing the documentation for your type of residence and filing on time.

What we check in your case

• Your card's expiry date and exactly what your window for filing is.
• What documentation your specific type of residence requires.
• Whether you still meet the conditions that gave rise to your residence, and how to evidence it.
• If your card has already expired, what room you have left and what is worth doing before filing anything.

If your deadline has already passed

This is the situation most people write to us about, and they almost always arrive thinking there is nothing left to do. That is not so: the room you have depends on how much time has passed and on your type of authorisation, and there are ways to put it right.

What is not advisable is filing on your own without someone looking at the case first, because a badly framed application closes doors.

Write to us with the expiry date and we will tell you where you stand.

Timeframes

The renewal can be filed within the window the rules set around the expiry of your authorisation, and filing within that period extends the validity of the previous one until a decision is issued.

That is why what matters most is not how long the administration takes, but not missing the filing date. If your card has already expired, do not let it drift: the sooner it is reviewed, the more options there are.

How we handle your case

1. We calculate your renewal window and tell you when it has to be filed, with time to spare.

3. We file the renewal within your window and pay the fee.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need to start on this?

Earlier than people tend to think. Write to us with your card's expiry date and we will tell you your exact window and what documentation to start gathering.

My deadline has passed, is there nothing left to do?

Do not write it off without us looking at it. The room you have depends on how much time has passed and on your situation, and it is worth reviewing before filing anything.

Will I be irregular while it is being decided?

If the renewal was filed on time, no. That is precisely why you file on time.

Do you also handle the fingerprint appointment and the new card?

Yes. Once the renewal is granted we take care of the appointment and the issue of the TIE.

Does this work for any type of residence?

We handle renewals of all kinds. Tell us which is yours.
