Renewal of the authorisation
In the cases we reviewed, renewal of the authorisation is filed through the Mercurio e-office. The fingerprint appointment comes later, once there is a favourable decision. Do not use one form for every case.
The button opens the administration’s website in another tab. MiCitas does not sign in or fill anything in there.
Who it is for
Holders of a temporary authorisation that must be renewed: non-lucrative, employment or self-employment, among others. Each information sheet has its own requirements.
1
Read the sheet for your authorisation
The sheets we reviewed (employment, self-employment and non-lucrative; the non-lucrative one updated May 2025) say filing is electronic, through Mercurio.
2
File during the two months before expiry
Those sheets say: during the two months before expiry. They also allow the three months after, without prejudice to a possible sanction. Filing on time extends the previous authorisation until they decide.
3
Pay the 052 fee for your heading
The non-lucrative sheet cites form 790 code 052, heading 2.2.1. The self-employment sheet cites 052 heading 2.2.3 and also a 790 code 062. We do not copy a euro amount because the sheet points to the form.
4
Once granted, request the TIE
In the work renewals we reviewed, the card must be requested in person within one month of notification. Use the fingerprinting guide.
