Opening a bank account in Alicante

A Spanish bank account makes life in Alicante far easier — for salary, rent, utilities and taxes. Banks ask for specific documents, and which account you can open depends on your residence status.

Resident vs non-resident accounts

If you hold a NIE and are registered in Alicante you can open a full resident account. Without residence you can still open a non-resident account with a "certificado de no residente". We tell you which fits and prepare the paperwork.

Typical documents

  • Passport or ID
  • NIE number
  • Proof of address (empadronamiento or utility bill)
  • Proof of employment or income status

In Alicante

In Alicante, the bank account is handled through Oficina de Extranjería de Alicante; our local team prepares your file and books the cita previa so it clears first time. We help clients from San Juan de Alicante to El Campello.
