UK Embassy singles out Brits in Alicante and Málaga for not getting TIEs
The British Embassy in Spain is calling on British residents specifically within the Málaga and Alicante provinces to exchange their paper green Certificates for a TIE ('tarjeta de identidad de extranjero') urgently. This targeted push follows the publication of data from the Spanish Ministry for Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations which states that Green Certificate ownership is most prevalent within these two provinces where large number of UK nationals reside. It is expected that these individuals will face considerable difficulties when the EU's Entry Exit System comes into force in October this year. Under this new border system, all non-EU passengers crossing into Spain or other EU countries will need to register their name, passport details and biometric data unless they can present a valid uniform-format biometric residency card. For Britons residing in Spain, only a TIE will be accepted by Spanish and EU authorities. The Green Certificate will not be recognised because it does not meet the requirements to feature in Annex 22 of the Schengen Borders Code. As a result, green certificate holders attempting to enter Spain or any other country in the Schengen zone may not have their residency rights recognised and may be wrongly accused of overstaying as a tourist in the EU. This could lead to them being denied entry and returned to the UK. Although there will be an appeals process, it may require the Green Certificate holder to return to the UK until it is resolved. With hundreds of thousands of British nationals - residents and tourists - passing through Alicante and Málaga airports each year, it is particularly imperative that anyone with a Green Certificate in those provinces exchanges it to a TIE as soon as possible, as the majority of residents have already done so. His Majesty's Ambassador Sir Alex Ellis said: 'We have already seen an increase in Brits getting a TIE since our campaign began, which is fantastic news, and we're grateful to the community groups, charities and British people who've helped spread the word. However, there remains a minority of British people still in possession of a Green Certificate so we want to reach them, explain why the TIE is so important and ensure they have one by October, in order to enjoy smooth travel into Spain and the Schengen area.' The British Embassy in Spain has been running a campaign to encourage take up of the TIE since May last year and, most recently, has stepped up activity in the Alicante and Málaga provinces. This has included outreach events and engagements with charities and British groups such as, Age Concern, the Royal British Legion, MABS Cancer Support, Samaritans, Help at Home, various HELP groups and others. The Embassy has also worked with local townhalls and media outlets to spread messages on EES and the TIE and is working with the Spanish Government to increase appointment availability in key areas.

Spain warning for UK tourists as popular travel document 'no longer accepted'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info UK holidaymakers have been hit with a travel update, finding one document is "no longer accepted as proof of residency" when heading to Spain. British expats are being encouraged to get their hands on a new form to avoid any issues during their stay in the popular EU destination. The British Embassy in Madrid took to Facebook to issue a statement saying, "Only those with a biometric TIE are exempt from the EES when entering Spain. If you only have the green certificate, it will not be accepted as proof of residency for EES purposes." Further advice from the embassy noted: "To be exempt from registering with the EES, British residents in the EU will need to show a valid uniform-format biometric card."

Sir Alex Ellis, His Majesty's Ambassador to Spain, has previously emphasised: "We want British residents in Spain to be able to travel smoothly into this country. That's why it's really important that anyone with a Green Certificate gets a TIE.", reports Birmingham Live. Adding urgency to his message, he advised: "It can take a few months, so start the process now to ensure smooth travel once the EES comes into force later this year." The TIE card, officially known as Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero, serves as solid evidence of your legal residence status in Spain as a non-national. If you're a UK citizen residing in Spain for an extended period, this card verifies that you retain the same rights as before Brexit. However, it's crucial to note that you only require it if your visa permits you to stay in Spain for more than six months. For those merely visiting Spain as tourists or staying for a few weeks or months under the standard short-term regulations, a TIE card is not necessary. It's primarily required for non-EU citizens intending to stay in the country for a longer duration. Additionally, if you've been utilising the old green residency certificate, be aware that it's soon to become obsolete. The EU is set to introduce a new Entry/Exit System (EES) likely later this year. This system will record travellers' names, passport details, fingerprints, and facial scans. The TIE card is designed to store all this information, but the green certificate will no longer suffice once the EES is implemented. Therefore, if you're planning a long-term stay in Spain, transitioning to the TIE is undoubtedly the wise choice to prevent any travel complications.
