Living in Mijas: what to know about your procedures

Mijas, with its village in the hills and its residential estates on the coast, belongs to the province of Málaga, and its residents depend on the Immigration Office of Málaga. The padrón is done at Mijas town hall. From many estates it is not easy to get around without a car, so an errand in the capital turns into a day trip; doing it online avoids nearly all of those journeys.

Many British and other European nationals live in Mijas, often retirees or home owners. That is why the TIE for those who were already resident before Brexit, non-lucrative residence for those now arriving from outside the Union, and the registration certificate for EU citizens are all common.

Frequently asked questions about immigration in Mijas

See all questions
I live on an estate in Mijas. Do I have to go to Málaga?
It depends on the procedure. For those that can be filed online, with “We file it for you” we register the application over the internet. With “Do it yourself” you file it yourself, by appointment, at the Immigration Office of Málaga. Some steps are always in person: the padrón, at Mijas town hall, and fingerprints for the card, at the National Police by appointment.
I spend long periods at my home in Mijas without being a resident. Do I need a permit?
If you are not an EU citizen, as is now the case for British nationals, a visa-free stay is limited to ninety days within each period of one hundred and eighty in the Schengen area. To stay longer you need a visa or a residence permit; the most usual one in these cases is non-lucrative residence, which is applied for at the Spanish consulate before coming.
Does ResiLegal have an office in Mijas?
No, and you do not need one. ResiLegal is an online service for the whole of Spain: the test, the documents, the signature, the payment and the tracking are done from the website or the app, and you talk to us by chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, phone or video call.
