And to make payment for the summer course and housing I just cashed in the cheques I received from International Courses Office by making only one trip to the bank. Everything seemed pretty easy during that one month stay. Maybe it would be different if I were to go to la Comisería to get a residence permit. I'm going to Spain soon for a master's degree course and I find this post to be very useful. Thanks for posting! Hey Chris,

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I am little concern because my husband and I also have to renew our residences; and at this moment I am here in the USA, but by May we have to be there to solve this problem. We live in Alicante Guardamar and hopefully things will be less difficult there. wow. Thank you again Hello Chris. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

And to answer your question, my 404 page just kinda started working one day. I believe it was after I upgraded my WordPress version... So really, I didn't do anything to get it to work. haha Sorry I couldn't be of more help! @Orallo – Yes, I’m sure dealing with the INS in the USA wouldn’t be much fun either.

THAT is somthing I wouldnt wish on my worse enemy. Thankfully, I finally wised up and came back to live in my own country, which isn't all that bad afterall. It only took me 14 years to realize that ;-) BTW, I came across your site trying to figure out how to get the 404 page working on wordpress on a site I'm working on. How the heck did you get it working??? Thanks in advance! You should try being from Spain and having to deal with the INS in the USA… THAT is somthing I wouldnt wish on my worse enemy.

I wish Burgos would do that! It's so strange that every community/providence does it differently....

In Madrid you just call a number to make an appointment, fill out some forms and take a few photos with you on the day of your appointment to have it processed, then finally pick it up from the police station a month or so later.

Thank you, Chris, for describing the process! Little things make me happy, and I hope to "enjoy" this process once in Spain. At least because it is NOTHING compared to the bureaucracy in Russia, though! Hahahaha! Thank you, Chris, for describing the process!
