Hi, I'm moving over in July to work til the end of the season but right now finding it difficult to purschase my NIE number. I am from Glasgow and there is a Spanish consulate in Edinburgh I can apply through but they've said not to apply through them if it's for seasonal summer work. I don't want to come over without one and there are websites online that offer an application but they're more expensive. Has anyone purchased their NIE online before? I have the money but don't want to spend it right now in case it's a con so i am just wondering if anyone can clarify whether purchasing one online is legit
