⚡ Quick answer

The tasa 790 052 (790 052 fee) is the fee charged by the Immigration Office (Oficina de Extranjería) to process stay and residence authorisations in Spain. In 2026 it costs €10.94 (initial residence), €16.40 (renewal), €21.87 (long-term) or €38.28 (arraigo). You fill it in for free on the Ministry’s website, print it as a PDF and pay it at a bank, an ATM or online.

Don’t confuse it with the tasa 790 012, which is the Police fee for the TIE card and fingerprints.

What is the immigration tasa 790 052?

The tasa 790 052 (also called modelo 790 código 052 or simply tasa 052) is the self-assessment form used to pay the processing fees for stay and residence authorisations decided by the Immigration Offices of the Government Delegations and Sub-delegations.

It is mandatory for your application to go ahead: if payment is not proven, the Administration may treat the application as withdrawn. It differs from the tasa 790 012 in that the 052 pays for reviewing and deciding the application, while the 012 pays for issuing the card (TIE, NIE or registration certificate) at the National Police.

⚠️ Common mistakes when paying code 052 (and how to fix them)

Ticking the wrong item (e.g. €10.94 instead of €38.28 for arraigo). Fix: pay a complementary self-assessment (complementaria) for the difference, giving the original receipt number.

Paying the 012 instead of the 052 (or vice versa). Fix: generate and pay the correct fee and request a refund of undue payment (devolución de ingresos indebidos) for the other one.

Photocopying a fee already used or someone else’s. Fix: each form has a unique receipt number; generate a new one in your name.

Mistakes in your name or NIE. Fix: if you haven’t paid yet, generate another form. If you’ve already paid, submit the receipt with a letter explaining the error.

The ATM can’t read the barcode. Fix: reprint in better quality or pay at the counter or online.
