Changes to traffic fines

Changes to the traffic laws in Tenerife are soon to come into effect.  Below are details of fines, suspensions and other important changes

Choosing an Advisor in Tenerife

Most expats who register into the system will use a gestor or professional advisor to help them do so.  This tends to be the most practical way to get settled, as there are so many things to think about and do when you first arrive, that you may not have time to stand in queues, waiting for hours.  Using a good advisor will ensure that you have not missed anything out – crucial for your own peace of mind, and security against future surprises.  There are all sorts of people who would be willing to help you with your basic paperwork, for a fee.  You must ensure that they are qualified to do so, or else you may find yourself having to pay someone else later to rectify their mistakes. 

Unravelling the Red Tape

How and why do you apply for an NIE in Tenerife? What is an empadronamiento, and why do you need one?  What happened to the residencia card?  What is the certificado de registro? There is lots of bureacracy when you live in Tenerife, just as in any other country.  Tenerife Lifeline will help you unravel this red tape.
