Whether you are applying for your residence permit for the first time or renewing it, you will have to pay this tax. In this article we are about to explore everything you need to know about the 790 fee model 052 required for your immigration procedure in Spain: where and when should you pay it, your 2 options for doing so, and exactly how much it costs this year.
The 790 052 immigration fee is an administrative tax that you must pay to the immigration office when submitting your immigration application for an initial residence card, renewal, or extension in Spain.
That is to say, in any of these procedures, in addition to the complete list of requirements to apply for each residency, you must also pay this fee as an extra requirement since it corresponds to the different managerial tasks undertaken by the Spanish Administration when receiving your application.
It is important not to confuse this fee 052 with the model 790/012, which as we have already seen in many of our articles, is paid at the time of applying for the physical residence card (TIE) and registering your fingerprints at the police station.
Thus, the 790/052 fee is an amount that you will have to pay before: at the moment of submitting your file with all the documentation (something you will usually do online).
It is important to note that you will have 10 days to pay it after the admission of your application for processing.
