Simple process
We will…
01
We get your paperwork shipshape
Tell us your story and we tell you, to the document, what the file needs. We fill the EX-15, the Modelo 790-012 and the rest correctly the first time around — no rejected boxes.
02
We chase down the cita previa
We keep watch on the Fuerteventura appointment system without let-up and grab the first real slot, so you can be out on the water instead of hammering refresh on the official portal.
03
We turn up with you
On the day, we head to the Puerto del Rosario office alongside you so the whole thing runs clean and you leave with your NIE sorted.
The essentials
What is the NIE — and why you need one in Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura's beaches and year-round sun have made it a favourite for digital nomads and long-stay residents. But island administration moves at its own pace, and appointments are scarce.
We are based on the island and handle foreigner documentation every day. We know the Puerto del Rosario office, the local town halls, and exactly how to get your file approved without endless trips.

If you are not on the island yet
Getting the paperwork moving before you land
Everything we do happens face to face on Fuerteventura — the queue, the counter, the office in Puerto del Rosario. If you have not flown in yet, or you would rather not spend a crossing on a form, these two private companies handle the NIE at a distance. Neither is an official body.
Gestoraz and its remote filing route
Files the request online from wherever you happen to be, which suits anyone who would rather not spend a ferry crossing or a flight off Fuerteventura on a single piece of paper.

Why NIE Fuerteventura
Local, fast and honest
NIE and residence procedures for the island are handled at the Oficina de Extranjería in Puerto del Rosario, and the padrón at each municipal ayuntamiento. We cover Corralejo, Caleta de Fuste, Costa Calma and Morro Jable.
We live here
A crew that is actually based on Fuerteventura — we know the Puerto del Rosario office, its staff and every island quirk by heart. On the rare job that needs nobody on the ground at all, we say so and send you to AnchorLess.
Right the first time
We get files waved through on the opening attempt, so you never burn a scarce appointment on a silly slip.
One honest price
You see the cost before we start. No creeping extras, no fine-print surprises down the line.
We talk to them, in their language
We deal with the Spanish administration in Spanish and then break it all down for you in plain English.
Testimonials
What our clients say
“Living in Corralejo and working remotely, the last thing I wanted was bureaucracy. They sorted my NIE and padrón without me losing a single surf session.”
Tom HughesUnited Kingdom
“Everything handled online and one appointment. Incredibly easy for an island where things usually take forever.”
Camille MoreauFrance
“Honest, friendly and fast. Got my NIE and health insurance set up for my non-lucrative visa.”
Erik JohanssonSweden
“I was dreading the cita previa after horror stories from friends. The Fuerteventura team booked it in days, prepped every form, and I was back on my board by the weekend.”
Patricia HernándezGermany · NIE application
“As a non-EU arrival the TIE looked like a brick wall. They walked me through the fingerprints appointment in Puerto del Rosario and it could not have been simpler.”
Fernando DíazCanada · TIE card
“NIE, padrón and social security number all knocked out together. Genuinely the smoothest part of my whole move to the island.”

NIE in Fuerteventura
How the NIE works in Fuerteventura
The cita previa, the documentación, the Oficina de Extranjería — answered.
The asignación de NIE in Fuerteventura follows the national route: complete the EX-15 solicitud, pay the Modelo 790-012 tasa, book a cita previa at the Oficina de Extranjería in Puerto del Rosario, and present your documentación and pasaporte at the appointment. We run the whole trámite for you from the first form to the finished number.
NIE and residencia procedures for the island are dealt with at the Oficina de Extranjería in Puerto del Rosario (administraciones públicas). The dirección, teléfono and a Google Maps link are on our contact page. Bear in mind every trámite needs a cita previa first.
The cita previa goes through the sede electrónica of the administraciones públicas (and by teléfono or SMS for certain trámites). Fuerteventura slots disappear in minutes, so we monitor the extranjería system and lock in your cita on your behalf. If you cannot be on the island for an appointment at all, Gestoraz runs the trámite online as a private alternative rather than an official channel.
The documentos necesarios are the EX-15 solicitud, your pasaporte or DNI plus a copy, proof of the reason for the request, the paid Modelo 790-012, and sometimes a certificado de empadronamiento or carta de invitación. We confirm the exact list for your case on the island.
A renovación needs a fresh cita previa at the extranjería oficina in Puerto del Rosario, the renewal solicitud, updated documentación and the right certificados. We handle the entire renovación so nothing slips past its date.
The horario of the Oficina de Extranjería in Fuerteventura is generally weekday mornings, Monday to Friday, with atención al público by cita previa only. Check the exact hours and servicio details on our contact page before any consulta.
