My TIE is in process, what do I need to be able to leave and re-enter Spain?

If you are an international student from outside the Schengen area and you need to leave Spain, but you do not have your TIE card yet (because it is still being processed or it is in process of renewal), you must apply for the "Return Authorization".

This document allows you to leave and re-enter Spain without any problems while your residence card is being processed. It is not valid for travel within the EU.
