Do not pay strangers for immigration appointments
Desperate for a fingerprint appointment for my TIE, I paid 60 euros to a person advertising appointments in an expat group. They booked a slot, but at the wrong police station and for the wrong procedure, so I was turned away. When I asked for help, they stopped replying. Later I learned that reselling public appointments is a problem the authorities are actively tackling. I eventually found my own appointment after checking the official website every morning for 11 days. Save your money, check the official portal early in the day, or use a registered gestor with a real office.
Pros
- Replied quickly at first
Cons
- Booked the wrong procedure
- No refund
- Stopped responding
- Possibly unlawful
