residence permit here decides everything: under Article 5b of EU Regulation 833/2014 ban on deposits over 100,000 € from Russian citizens does not apply to those those who already hold a residence permit from an EU, EEA or Swiss country. Opening an account we do not promise: the decision rests with the bank

How it works in Spain
The NIE is issued by the foreign nationals police; the empadronamiento (local registration) — the district city hall (ayuntamiento), and a digital signature (certificado digital), without which half of all applications can only be submitted in person — FNMT.
What we need from you to get started
- Passport and the address where you will be registered
- Lease agreement or landlord’s consent — for empadronamiento
- Russian or other documents requiring legalisation — in original
Where things most often go wrong
- —The landlord is not willing to provide a document for registration — without it, the permit won’t be issued neither the NIE card, nor health insurance, nor a school place
- —Documents legalized for one country but needed in Spain: apostille country of issue and a sworn translation are required here
- —A digital signature is obtained at the last moment, when an appointment is already needed
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
