Frequently asked questions

Why are there never any Extranjeria appointments in my province?

Slots are released in batches and go fast in high-demand provinces. Trying at different times of day and having your details ready makes the difference.

Is paying for an Extranjeria appointment legal?

The official appointment is free. Middlemen charge to get one for you, but the procedure itself never requires paying for the appointment, only the official fees of the procedure.
