If you’re applying for your initial TIE or doing a TIE renewal in Spain, congrats. You’ve officially met Tasa 790 012. The good news? This form looks scarier than it actually is. Let’s walk through it step by step.
What Is Tasa 790 012?
[Link to Tasa 790 012]
Tasa 790 012 is the government fee form you need to pay for:
- Your first TIE card (initial TIE)
- Your TIE renewal
Step-by-Step: How to Fill It Out
IDENTIFICACIÓN
This section is pretty self-explanatory. You’ll fill in:
- Your name
- Passport or NIE number
- Address
Use the address where you currently live or where you’re padróned. Don’t overthink it. Spain just wants to know where to find you if they had to.
AUTOLIQUIDACIÓN
Hands off. Seriously. You don’t need to fill anything out here. You don’t need to enter any numbers yourself. Just make sure the box that says “Principal” is checked, and then select the appropriate option for your procedure, for example, Initial TIE or TIE Renewal. The form will automatically calculate the exact amount you owe for that specific tasa, so there’s no guesswork involved. Double-check that you’ve chosen the correct procedure to avoid any mistakes, and remember, this section is purely for the system to generate your fee; you don’t need to fill in any monetary values yourself.
Initial TIE
“TIE que documenta la primera concesión de la autorización de residencia temporal, de estancia o para trabajadores transfronterizos.”
TIE Renewal
“TIE que documenta la renovación de la autorización de residencia temporal o la prórroga de la estancia o de la autorización para trabajadores transfronterizos.”
DECLARANTE
This is where you:
- Input your location (city)
- Add the date
INGRESO
This part stresses people out for no reason.
Choose:
☑️ “En efectivo” (cash)
Yes, you can pay online, but I personally never do. Why?
- Paying in person is safer
- You get a physical receipt
- It gets stamped
- Spanish offices love stamped things
You’ll take this form to a bank, pay in cash, and walk out with proof. Simple.
Final Steps
Before you’re done:
- Prove you’re not a robot (Spain still doesn’t trust us)
- Click “Descargar impreso rellenado”
- Download and print the form
This is the copy you’ll bring to the bank to pay and later to your appointment.
Tasa 790 012 looks intimidating, but once you slow down and follow the steps, it’s actually one of the easier parts of the Spanish immigration process. Take your time. Double-check your info. Keep your receipt like it’s gold.
Love always,
