Ex 15 Form

Having recently made the permanent move to Granada, Spain from the UK as an Irish and EU citizen, I can help with some of the surprises we came up against. Unfortunately, even for an EU citizen, it's not as easy as packing up and moving to Spain. Bear with me as I take you through the details:Acquiring NIE Certification. This is a certificate giving you a 'Foreigner's Identifying Number' for up to a 3 month period. Beyond 3 months, you are required to get a Resident Card. Get the NIE immediately - you need it for opening a bank account, to get a SIM (even prepay), for any online transaction, for receiving packages from the postman (I know), for signing a rental contract, for anything really. So as soon as you arrive in your desired location, before looking for flats, before exploring the city, go straight to your local Immigration Office and pick up the form EX-15 to apply for the NIE. (No, it's not available online and neither is any of this process which, amongst many other reasons, makes it very frustrating.) Official government page about this application.Along with picking up the EX-15 form, make sure you talk to someone in the office (our experience is that they only speak Spanish) and ask what is required for applying for the NIE. Don't trust what the internet says or even what I'm telling you here - you need to verify with them in that particular office and double-check, get them to write it down for you. Because next time you go back, they may say something else entirely and you can show them this piece of paper. (Still not guaranteed to work but it helps keep them accountable.) Before leaving the office, make sure to set an appointment for returning the completed form. They don't automatically do this and it's astonishing because they expect you to have an appointment when you return so make sure to ask for one. The appointments are generally one month in advance so this is why you need to go as early as possible. If you tell them you need the NIE urgently, they may let you back without an appointment if you beg but we arrived at 8am and didn't get seen until 1:30pm so be prepared to sit around.Now that you have the form, go to an internet cafe/locutorio and make at least one copy of it (so you can start on one and not make mistakes on the original). NOW MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING. Copy your passport at least 10x, your latest Pay Slips, your latest Bank Statement, etc. When filling out forms, scan every completed form back onto a USB Stick. CARRY A COPY OF EVERYTHING WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES. A copy of your passport, NIE Cert when you get it, your Resident Card when you get it; have it all with you - you'd be surprised how often you're asked for these documents. To apply for the NIE Cert we needed:Original passportCopy of passportCompleted EX-15 form - here's an English translation form but you'll need to submit the Spanish one they give you.Copy of completed EX-15 formThey also say they need some sort of 'communication' of the reason you need an NIE but this was just to open a bank account for us so we didn't have anything to show for it and that was fine. Submission Appointment: Upon returning to the office with the required forms on your appointed day and time, they take the forms for processing and you are asked to come back after 7 calendar days to pick up the NIE Certificate. No appointment necessary for this one, just show up when you can (morning preferable because you need the bank to be open).Pick-up Day (7-days later): When you return to pick up the NIE Cert, check in at the desk and they will give you a form to bring to the bank. You need to go to any bank (hopefully there's one close by that they can direct you to) and pay in cash for the NIE Cert and acquire a stamp of proof of payment, approx. €16. Bring this back to the office. Now you have your NIE Certificate!!! Write this number down immediately on your hand, tattoo it on your body, make it your phone background, you will need it for every transaction you do going forward for the next 3 months. Don't leave the Immigration Office just yet!! Before you leave, make sure to ask them what you need to apply for a Resident Card. Remember to double-check their response, get them to write it down, give you any forms you need and get that appointment too!Next, Acquiring Resident Card: This is the card you need if you plan to reside in Spain longer than 3 months (or beyond the expiry date of your NIE Cert). For this application, you should be in possession of a form and a document explaining what other documentation they'll require for your specific application. This changes according to your nationality and your purpose for residing in Spain. For us, as self-employed EU citizens, NOT registering our business in Spain, we each had to apply as an 'inactive person with sufficient resources and health insurance'. This means we filled out the EX-18 for EU citizens. (English translation version.)To apply for the Resident Card we needed:Original passport2 x  copies of passport (form says 1 but they insist you have 2!)Completed EX-18 formCopy of EX-18 form (they actually didn't ask us for this in the end)Proof of sufficient resources* - for this we printed a bank statement for each person applyingProof of health insurance** - document from our health provider stating start date and cover details (ideally in Spanish) - print out ALL the documentation your Health Provider sends you as our cards weren't sufficient for some reason. They wanted to see all the conditions of the plan. Who cares about your privacy, right? *Proof of sufficient resources - nowhere in any documentation or from speaking with anyone in the Immigration Office is it clear what exactly constitutes 'sufficient' resources for your planned stay in Spain. We had indicated that we will be residing here for a year and we had saved money to do so, so showing a bank statement with that money in it was 'sufficient'. This easily covered rent for a year and what we calculated as our expected daily expenses although how that tallied with what the Immigration Office expected to see, I've no idea. [Update] I got a vague answer on this that they are looking for incoming deposits of only €5,500 annually. Even though we are not earning a salary at the moment, they insisted on seeing deposits coming into each of our bank accounts over the past 3 months. Thankfully we had this from previous employment but it's laughable as surely the current amount in the account is more important that the money I received months ago, have long ago spent and so no longer have! We actually ended up getting one of our applications rejected since we only submitted one bank account statement for both applications with (what we calculated as) sufficient funds for 2 people. The 2nd person's application was rejected since their name needs to be on the account or otherwise prove they are a dependent or married to the account owner. Since our marriage certificate (which I had with me anticipating this issue!) was in Italian and not an apostille or 'certified/notarised', they could not accept it. [Thankfully we dashed to a locutorio, printed out the last 3 months of bank statements under his name and since it also had some incoming deposits from a previous employment, we were allowed submit that on the spot instead of coming back for another dreaded appointment with another dreaded interviewer that would change the requirements yet again!]**Proof of health insurance - we made the mistake of not researching this one quite sufficiently. We assumed (after which I kick myself every time, in Spain you NEVER assume, you always check and double-check) that the European Health Insurance Card we received from paying our taxes in the UK for years would suffice as Health Insurance (as it does for visitors or students but not for those planning to stay for a year). We actually did ask the Immigration Office if this card was sufficient and they told us 'yes' but when it came to actually submitting the application, we were refused on these grounds and had to wait another month for another appointment. There is a public Health Insurance option in Spain but we can't take advantage of it until we have a Resident Card and have lived here for a year (and probably paid taxes for a year). So in the meantime, we acquired Private Health Insurance from SANITAS who clearly stated on their website that they could provide assistance and contracts in English, access to English-speaking medical staff and best of all, ensure that it was sufficient for the Residency Application. For two of us, we are paying approx. €80/month for a year contract. Submission Appointment: Upon returning to the office with the oh-so-many required (and many not!) forms on your appointed day and time, they take the forms for processing and give you another form to bring to the bank. You need to go to any bank and pay €10.80, getting a stamp as proof of payment. Bring this form directly back to the office. Now you have your Spanish Resident Card!! ...Oh boy is it so anticlimactic...it's not even plastic or laminated but a piece of green paper with a stamp and a start date. I'm quite sure I'm going to lose it before I even get home. And now the doubt sets in, after all that rigmarole and 7 separate visits to the Immigration Office, as I question why do I even need this thing again?!!Image: Supporting document to the EX-18 form.

The most disconcerting part of walking away from narcissistic abuse was the realization that the amount of time and energy I was spending on the abuse/abuser didn’t seem to reduce. I was no longer in the same house but I was still going through cycles of intense grief, anger, euphoria and triumph. I was obsessively researching information and keeping tabs. I would find myself engaged in intense arguments and explanations with them and with bystanders who happened to question my hyper reactivity. Intent on making everyone understand the way I was feeling, I went to ridiculous lengths to prove my point. Objectively, in the occasional bouts of calm, I could see the problem, but more often than not, I was in a state of defensive offense, and couldn’t understand how to snap out of it. Well, research and slow,painful experience helped me gradually move away from that behavior. These are the stages and simple practical tips I wish I had known at that time.Effects of emotional abuse persist beyond moving out.Certain words have been weaponized, weak, lazy, failure, dumb, careless, silly, angry, toxic.Very specific triggers have been embedded deep under layers and are very strategically used to create an emotional response.Any engagement is success for the narcissist. It need not be compliance or admiration, anger, hatred, grief, fright- it’s literally all the same.Like training a dog, every time you allow them to succeed in triggering you, they will double down on their efforts.You will react, many many times. It’s ok. Shame and guilt will only worsen the situation. Forgive yourself. Have compassionThink of your time during narcissistic abuse as a state of being in stress constantly, with a heavy soup of adrenaline in your blood. It really helped me to visualize adrenaline as this thick purple goo in my blood stream. This will take time to disappear.Because you have all that adrenaline in your system still, you are susceptible to stimuli. Any stimuli. Coming from the narcissist or any one else. So you have to reduce your exposure to potential stimuli.You will suddenly find gobs of time on your hands. All that time you spent managing your narcissist, well that is now empty. You will feel suddenly disoriented, depressed, empty, purposeless. And will seek anyway to fill that time.The easiest and most familiar way to fill that time is to engage with your narcissist. Either in arguments or plotting revenge or tracking their actions. This keeps you in the gooey purple mess, sometimes even adding more adrenaline as the narcissist gleefully escalates his efforts to hurt you or get you back.Other easy escapes are often dangerous, alcohol, drugs, hyper sexuality- all things that give the same highs and lows as abusive relationships.So you need to find a hobby. A passion. Something that will physically prevent you from engaging in seeking those highs to fill the time. This is key. For me this was drinking (yes. I know) and painting. Every time my thoughts would go in that direction, I would paint. Every time I got a message or found myself in an argument with my ex, I would drink and paint till I was physically incapacitated.Once the immediate compulsion starts leaving your system, start spending a bit of time analyzing what triggered you. I had to go through many many diary entries before I could pick out exactly what set me off. For me it was the accusation of being a dominating person (which was really unfair, see it still sets me off), and by extension, being a dominating toxic mother. I HATE the idea of anyone implying I make someone else do what I want them to do to their detriment.This will take a long time. Have compassion for yourself. I am at almost 3.5 years and my last triggered hyper reaction was a week ago.Now that you know your triggers, find a small activity to do that will delay your reaction when you feel yourself getting upset. This could be verbal things like naming five objects in the vicinity (a blue pen, a brown car, a white House). For me it is solitaire on my phone. Or videos of my kids. Literally anything that will give you twenty thirty seconds, a couple minutes before you respond. Try to push it for as long as possible.As you get better and better at the exercise above, you will find it possible to consider IF you want to or need to respond.You are only responsible for your own life. You are not here to save others teach others. Like the airline safety instructions say, you need to first make sure you are calm and safe. So if there is no immediate need to respond, don’t.This is an emotional muscle you need to strengthen. Like any other muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Use it consciously. Choose to walk away sometimes. Choose to engage calmly to a point sometimes. The purpose is to be in control.This is where you will suddenly discover other hidden triggers. As you recognize, acknowledge and deal with each one, other smaller hidden barbs will surface. Don’t get discouraged. Each time you stay in control, you are winning.Acknowledge your wins. Make sure you have some form of a care box to go to when you feel tired and discouraged. Because believe me, you will. But every time you pick yourself up and move again, it will be better.Remember that not everyone will understand.Find your joy. These activities are things I see myself doing when I’m my best self. For me it means going to art museums, traveling, learning new skills.Know yourself to be a survivor. You already have the skills to remake yourself. To adapt and grow. It may not seem like it but you are not alone.Link to learning the truth about safe spaces: Alka Writes
