Longer notes on the NIE, residence and the paperwork of daily life in Castellón and La Plana.

  1. A tile job in Castellón on an EU passport

    A contract with a tile maker near Castelló, a room in Vila-real, the first wage slip: how a European worker’s papers fall into place, week by week.

  2. A non-EU student in Castellón, term by term

    A student visa, a room near the campus, fingerprints in the first days. What a non-EU student at the Universitat Jaume I can plan before the first lecture.

  3. Buying on Castellón’s coast from abroad

    A flat in Peñíscola, a house near Benicàssim, a home in Brussels or Rotterdam. How a buyer who lives abroad gets the NIE and signs without moving yet.

Looking down from the hills over La Plana: rows of citrus trees on red earth in the foreground, an old square stone tower among pines, a district of villas, then the city of Castellón de la Plana spread across the plain to the Mediterranean on the horizon
