Moving to Valencia: Flex living & expert rental services | Globexs

Yes, you can rent an apartment in Spain without a NIE, especially when booking through Globexs. A NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) is required for official and long-term procedures in Spain — such as opening a bank account, signing an employment contract, or registering with the local authorities — but it is not mandatory for short- or mid-term rentals.

Renting without a NIE – how it works

Globexs specializes in mid-term furnished rentals for expats, remote workers, and international professionals, and we understand that many of our clients arrive in Spain before obtaining their NIE. That’s why our rental process is flexible and designed to remove unnecessary bureaucracy.

• You can rent with just a passport or national ID

• No Spanish residency or NIE required for Globexs contracts

• Payment can be made via international bank transfer or card

• Our rental agreements are legally valid and compliant with Spanish regulations

Why is empadronamiento not possible with Globexs rentals?

Summary
