AMV Authorities service & administrative support on Fuerteventura
Professional support for all authority, organisational and administrative processes on Fuerteventura
A Safe Path Through Administration
Buying a property or owning a home on Fuerteventura involves far more than selecting and checking a property.
International buyers and owners often face linguistic, organisational and legal challenges – especially with authorities, banks and administrative bodies.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY therefore offers a structured administrative service that professionally accompanies all relevant steps: personal, reliable and – if desired – fully by power of attorney.
Personal Support by Anna Margareta Vogel
Anna is the face of our administrative service.
With clear procedures, many years of experience and multilingual communication (DE/EN/ES), she accompanies clients through all administrative processes – from appointment scheduling to final document delivery.
On request, she takes over authority appointments entirely by power of attorney, so that international buyers and owners can complete their matters safely, correctly and efficiently.

NIE blanco – Identification Number for International Buyers & Owners
The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is the personal identification number for foreigners in Spain and forms the basis for almost all administrative, tax and legal processes. It is issued by the Policía Nacional and is mandatory for property purchase, bank account opening, tax registration, contracts, authority procedures and many other steps.
The so‑called NIE blanco is the simple white paper certificate that contains only the identification number. It is not a residence document, not proof of domicile and not a Residencia. Many international buyers start with this form of NIE to correctly carry out legal procedures – such as the property purchase or registration with the tax authority.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies the entire process in a structured and reliable way. We check personal prerequisites, prepare all required documents and support appointment scheduling and communication with the Policía Nacional – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations.
Our support includes:
– Preparation of all documents (passport, forms, powers of attorney)
– Guidance for Modelo 790‑012 (NIE fee)
– Appointment scheduling at the Policía Nacional
– Personal accompaniment
– Structured follow‑up until issuance
– On request also by power of attorney
This area is aimed at international buyers and owners who need a correct, complete and legally secure issuance of their NIE – as the basis for all further administrative steps on Fuerteventura.
Empadronamiento (Padrón) – Official Municipal Registration at the Ayuntamiento
Empadronamiento is the municipal registration at the competent Ayuntamiento and forms the basis for numerous authority processes on Fuerteventura. It is mandatory for Residencia, TIE, DGT licence exchange, social security, health card, school and kindergarten registrations and many other procedures.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We support document preparation, clarify the requirements of each municipality and accompany clients personally to appointments – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations such as sub‑letting or change of ownership.
Our support includes:
– Checking required documents (ID, rental contract, proof of ownership, utility bills)
– Clarification of requirements per municipality (La Oliva, Puerto del Rosario, Antigua, Tuineje, Pájara)
– Personal accompaniment to the Ayuntamiento
– support with forms and language barriers
– Structured follow‑up and provision of the Padrón for further authority procedures
This area is aimed at buyers and owners who need a correct, complete and legally secure municipal registration.
Residencia & Foreigners’ Office – Structured Support for EU Citizens
The Residencia (Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la Unión) is the official proof of permanent residence of an EU citizen in Spain. It is issued exclusively by the Policía Nacional or the foreigners’ office (Oficina de Extranjería) and requires clearly defined legal conditions: actual stay of more than 90 days, relocation of the centre of life, valid health insurance and sufficient financial means.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We check personal prerequisites, prepare all required documents and support appointment scheduling and communication with the foreigners’ office – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations.
Our support includes:
– Checking legal prerequisites (stay, centre of life, insurance, financial means)
– Preparation of all documents (EX‑18, Padrón, ID, insurance evidence, financial documents)
– Guidance for Modelo 790‑012
– Appointment scheduling at the Policía Nacional
– Accompaniment to the Residencia appointment
– Clarification of special cases (S1 form, pensioner status, family members)
– Structured follow‑up until issuance of the Residencia certificate
This area is aimed at EU citizens who relocate their permanent residence to Spain and need a correct, complete and legally secure application for the Residencia.
Residencia for Non‑EU Citizens – Residence Permit under Immigration Law (NO EU)
Residencia for non‑EU citizens is not a simple registration process like for EU citizens, but a full residence permit under Spanish immigration law (Ley de Extranjería). It requires extensive legal prerequisites and is examined exclusively by the foreigners’ office or the Policía Nacional.
Non‑EU citizens always need a residence permit (Permiso de Residencia), which is divided into different categories depending on the life situation. Each category has its own documents, checks and requirements.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way, especially in complex constellations, language barriers and preparation of extensive documents.
The most important types of Residencia for non‑EU citizens:
1. Non‑lucrative residence (Residencia No Lucrativa)
Requires:
– very high financial means (approx. €30,000–35,000 per year for one person)
– private health insurance without deductible
– proof of permanent residence
– extensive documents from the home country (certified + apostilled)
2. Work & residence permit (Residencia y Trabajo)
Requires:
– employment contract
– employer approval
– social security
– extensive examination by the foreigners’ office
3. Golden Visa (Residencia por Inversión)
Requires:
– debt‑free investment
– proof of funds
– health insurance
– background check
4. Family reunification (Reagrupación Familiar)
Requires:
– proof of family relationship
– sufficient financial means
– health insurance
– proof of housing
5. Student residence (Estancia por Estudios)
Requires:
– enrolment
– health insurance
– financial means
– proof of residence
.
TIE – Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (Non‑EU Citizens)
The TIE is the official residence card for non‑EU citizens and documents the lawful residence permit in Spain. It contains photo, fingerprints, NIE number and the respective residence title. According to the Policía Nacional, every non‑EU citizen must apply for the TIE within 30 days after issuance or activation of their residence permit.
The TIE is mandatory for all stays over six months and is issued exclusively at the foreigners’ office or the Policía Nacional. EU citizens are excluded; they receive the green “Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la Unión”.
Our support includes:
– Preparation of form EX‑17
– Checking documents (passport, visa/resolution, Empadronamiento, photos)
– Guidance for Modelo 790‑012 (TIE fee)
– Appointment scheduling for “Toma de Huellas”
– Accompaniment to the appointment
– Structured follow‑up until collection of the card
This area is aimed at non‑EU citizens who need a correct, complete and legally secure issuance of their residence card.
Mobile, Internet & Telecommunications – Structured Support for Digital Basic Infrastructure
A stable digital infrastructure is one of the most important organisational steps after a property purchase or relocation to Fuerteventura. Many international buyers face linguistic and technical challenges – from choosing the right provider to setting up router, SIM card and contract documents.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We support the choice of suitable providers, check regional coverage and help with setting up the necessary hardware. In some regions – such as Caldereta – coverage of individual providers is limited. There, switching from Vodafone to Movistar may be necessary to ensure a stable connection.
We support among other things:
– Choice of suitable mobile and internet provider
– Checking coverage at the location
– Contract conclusion and documents
– Setting up router and SIM card
– Support with language barriers in shops and service centres
– Support with alternative solutions such as Starlink when local infrastructure is insufficient
This area is aimed at buyers and owners who need reliable digital basic infrastructure – whether for private use, home office or technical equipment of their property.
Craftsmen & Service Providers
For many owners, the reliable selection of local service providers is crucial.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY supports the search for vetted, established and trustworthy partners – for technical, security‑relevant and home‑technical services.
We mediate among other things:
-
Photovoltaic companies
-
Alarm system providers
-
Pool service & pool cleaners
-
General craftsmen
Alarm Systems & Security – Protection Against Squatting and Burglary
A reliable security system is one of the most important measures for owners on Fuerteventura. The current legal situation regarding squatting (“okupación”) shows how crucial a professional alarm system with direct police connection is.
Only if a break‑in is documented within the first 48 hours can the police remove squatters immediately. After this period, eviction is only possible through a court procedure.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY works with the most renowned alarm system providers on the island and accompanies buyers and owners in selection, installation and activation of the systems. We support contract clarification, technical setup and final police connection.
Our support includes:
– Selection of a certified alarm system provider
– Contract clarification and documents
– Installation and technical setup
– Activation of police connection
– Advice on sensors, cameras and outdoor security
– Support with language barriers in shops and service centres
– Additional solutions for remote regions (e.g. Starlink backup)
This area is aimed at owners who want to reliably protect their property – both against burglary and squatting.
DGT & Driving Licence Exchange – Structured Support for Residents
With the issuance of the Residencia, international buyers and owners are obliged to exchange their foreign driving licence at the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT). This process includes several authority steps, specific documents and a mandatory medical aptitude test.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We support appointment scheduling, preparation of all necessary documents and communication with the DGT – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations.
Our support includes:
– Appointment scheduling at the DGT
– Preparation of all documents (TIE, Padrón, ID, driving licence, photos)
– Support with the medical aptitude test (Psicotécnico)
– Accompaniment to DGT appointments
– Clarification of special cases (expired licences, name discrepancies, old EU formats)
– Help with language barriers and forms
– Structured follow‑up until issuance of the Spanish driving licence
This area is aimed at residents who need a correct, complete and efficient exchange of their driving licence.
Vehicle Import & ITV – Structured Support for Vehicle Registration
Importing a vehicle to Fuerteventura involves several authority steps, technical inspections and specific documents. After import, the vehicle must be presented at the ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos) to obtain technical approval for Spain. This process is complex for many international buyers, as it involves both customs and traffic authorities.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We support document checking, preparation of technical documents and communication with ITV stations and the DGT – especially in cases of language barriers or special cases such as modifications or older vehicle models.
Our support includes:
– Checking import documents (customs, purchase contract, technical data)
– Preparation for ITV inspection
– Accompaniment to the ITV station
– Support with DGT processes (registration, licence plates, fees)
– Structured follow‑up until full registration
This area is aimed at clients who want to register their vehicle safely, correctly and efficiently on Fuerteventura.
Medical Accompaniment for Newcomers
For many newcomers, the first doctor’s visit on Fuerteventura is a challenge – whether due to language barriers or lack of experience with local procedures.
On explicit request, Anna accompanies clients to medical appointments, supports communication and ensures that diagnoses, recommendations and treatment plans are correctly understood.
We help among other things:
-
Appointment scheduling
-
Accompaniment to doctor’s appointments
-
Translation of medical conversations
-
Clarification of open questions
-
Support with follow‑up appointments
Health Insurance & Social Security – Structured Support in the Spanish Health System
Access to the Spanish health system is often linked to organisational and linguistic challenges for international buyers and owners. Registration with Seguridad Social, clarification of insurance status and issuance of the Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual (TSI) require correct documents, clear procedures and often several authority appointments.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We support registration with the social security office, clarify necessary documents and accompany clients to appointments – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations (pensioners, self‑employed, family insurance, EU status).
Our support includes:
– Registration with Seguridad Social (INSS)
– Clarification of insurance status (EU citizens, pensioners, employees, self‑employed)
– Issuance of the Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual (TSI)
– Support with Mutuas and supplementary insurances
– Accompaniment to appointments at social security and health authorities
– Help with language barriers and document clarification
– Structured preparation of all documents
This area is aimed at buyers and owners who need correct, complete and reliable integration into the Spanish health system.
Seguridad Social & TGSS – Registration with Social Security on Fuerteventura
Registration with the Spanish social security system (Seguridad Social) is a central step for international buyers, owners and newcomers on Fuerteventura. It is handled exclusively through the Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social (TGSS) – either in Puerto del Rosario (main office) or in Gran Tarajal (branch office).
Social security is necessary for numerous authority processes: health insurance, TSI issuance, employee registration, self‑employment registration (Autónomo/RETA), Residencia prerequisites and various residence permits. Many international clients face linguistic and organisational challenges, as the TGSS requires clear documents, appointment scheduling and precise case classification.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We check personal prerequisites, prepare all required documents and support appointment scheduling and communication with the TGSS – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations such as pensioners, family insurance or self‑employment.
This area is aimed at buyers and owners who need correct, complete and legally secure registration with the Spanish social security system – as the basis for all further administrative steps on Fuerteventura.
S1 Form – Access to the Spanish Health System for EU Pensioners
The S1 form is an official document of the European social security system that allows pensioners to transfer their national health insurance to Spain. With a valid S1, the Spanish social security (INSS) can register the person in the public health system and issue a Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual (TSI).
The S1 is exclusively for:
– EU pensioners living in Spain
– Persons receiving a pension from the EU
– Certain special cases (e.g. survivor’s pensions)
The S1 replaces the need for private full insurance for the Residencia for EU citizens and is therefore a central building block for legally relocating one’s main residence to Spain.
Our support includes:
– Checking S1 eligibility
– Support with application in your country
– Registration with Seguridad Social (INSS)
– Issuance of the TSI
– Accompaniment to appointments and clarification of special cases
This area is aimed at EU pensioners who relocate their centre of life to Spain and need full integration into the public health system.
Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual (TSI) – Access to the Public Health System
The Tarjeta Sanitaria Individual (TSI) is the personal health card of the Spanish public health system. It is issued by Seguridad Social and enables access to doctors, specialists, hospitals and emergency services on Fuerteventura. The TSI is mandatory for all persons insured through the public system – whether via the S1 form, via Spanish social security or via certain residence permits.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We check the prerequisites, prepare all necessary documents and support registration with the social security office as well as the issuance of the TSI.
Our support includes:
– Checking insurance eligibility (S1, Seguridad Social, special cases)
– Registration with Seguridad Social (INSS)
– Preparation of all documents (Padrón, ID, insurance evidence)
– Accompaniment to appointments
– Structured follow‑up until the TSI is issued
This area is aimed at clients who need correct and complete integration into the Spanish public health system.
Self‑Employment Registration (Autónomo / RETA) – Structured Support for International Buyers and Owners
Registration as a self‑employed person (Autónomo) in the Spanish social security system is carried out through the Régimen Especial de Trabajadores Autónomos (RETA). This process is complex for many international buyers and owners, as it involves both the social security office (Seguridad Social / TGSS) and the tax authority (AEAT). Only when both institutions have been correctly processed is a person officially registered as self‑employed in Spain.
The RETA registration is necessary for numerous professional activities, for certain residence permits (e.g. Residencia y Trabajo) and for persons who wish to carry out business activities on Fuerteventura. It requires clear documents, precise case classification and correct tax registration.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We check personal prerequisites, prepare all required documents and support communication with TGSS and AEAT – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations such as dual residence, pension income or mixed activities.
Our support includes:
– Checking prerequisites for self‑employment
– Preparation of tax registration (Modelo 036/037)
– Registration with TGSS in the RETA system
– Clarification of insurance status and monthly contributions
– Support with special cases (EU citizens, non‑EU citizens, pensioners, part‑time activity)

This area is aimed at clients who need correct, complete and legally secure registration as self‑employed – as the basis for professional activities or certain residence permits on Fuerteventura.

Relocation Support to Fuerteventura
Many international owners live mainly in their home country and spend only limited time on Fuerteventura. For this group, the Residencia is legally not possible or not sensible. AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY therefore offers a structured owner status package that covers all administrative requirements for non‑residents and provides clarity about documents, obligations and authority procedures.
The package includes complete analysis of personal status, checking all relevant documents and creation of an administrative overview for owners who do not live permanently on the island. This gives clients clear orientation regarding residence rules, insurances, tax obligations and authority requirements.
Our support includes:
– Checking owner and non‑resident status
– Document check (NIE, Escritura, utility bills, insurances)
– Overview of administrative obligations (IBI, Basura, Modelo 210)
– Advice on residence models (90‑day rule, 183‑day rule)
– Health insurance check (including S1 option for pensioners)
– Creation of a bilingual owner checklist (DE/ES)
– Structured preparation of all documents for future authority procedures
This area is aimed at owners who need professional, legally secure and fully structured orientation without applying for Residencia.
Tax Obligations for Non‑Residents (Modelo 210) – Annual Duties for Owners
Owners without Spanish residencia are subject to the annual non‑resident tax (Modelo 210). This tax applies to all persons who own a property but have their tax residence abroad. Modelo 210 must be submitted every year – regardless of whether the property is rented out or used exclusively for private purposes.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY offers structured guidance on all tax obligations for non‑residents. We review the individual situation, explain the relevant deadlines and support the preparation of the necessary documents. On request, we refer clients to vetted tax advisers who take over the annual filing.
Our support includes:
– Checking non‑resident tax obligations
– Explaining annual filing deadlines
– Overview of relevant documents (IBI, Basura, proof of ownership)
– Structured preparation for tax advisers
– Referral to vetted specialist offices
This area is aimed at international owners who want to fulfil their tax obligations correctly and on time.
Tax Authority AEAT – Registration, Documents & Tax Obligations for International Buyers and Owners
The Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT) is Spain’s central tax authority and a key component of all administrative processes on Fuerteventura. International buyers and owners need correct tax registration in order to purchase property, fulfil tax obligations or start business activities.
AEAT is responsible for activating the NIE in the tax system, issuing tax certificates, registration via Modelo 036/037, the annual non‑resident tax (Modelo 210) and the tax management of self‑employed persons and companies. Many international clients face linguistic and organisational challenges here, as AEAT requires clear documents, precise case classification and correct tax information.
AMV INTERNATIONAL REALTY accompanies this process in a structured and reliable way. We check personal prerequisites, prepare all required documents and support communication with AEAT – especially in cases of language barriers or complex constellations such as dual residence, pension income, company formation or special tax regimes like ZEC or RIC.
This area is aimed at buyers and owners who need correct, complete and legally secure tax registration – as a basis for property purchase, owner obligations and professional activities on Fuerteventura.
