Описание: From Undocumented to Entrepreneur: How I Got My NIE and Started a Business in Spain?

If you are in Spain illegally, it is generally not possible to apply for an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) directly. The NIE is a tax identification number for foreigners, and it is typically required for legal activities such as working, buying property, or starting a business. However, if you are undocumented, you may need to regularize your status first. Here are some steps you could consider:

1. **Legalize Your Situation**: You may need to apply for residency or seek asylum, depending on your circumstances. Consult with an immigration lawyer or a non-profit organization that assists immigrants in Spain.

2. **Arraigo Social**: If you have been in Spain for a certain period (usually 3 years) and can prove social integration (e.g., work contracts, community ties), you may be eligible for residency under the "arraigo social" process.

3. **NIE Application**: Once your status is regularized, you can apply for an NIE at the local police station or through the Spanish consulate in your home country. You’ll need to provide proof of your legal status, a completed application form, and a valid passport.

A *Comunidad de Bienes (CB)* is a simple business structure in Spain, often used for small partnerships. It is not a separate legal entity, so the partners are personally liable for debts. Here’s how to start one:

1. **Choose a Name**: Pick a unique name for your CB. Check the Registro Mercantil (Mercantile Registry) to ensure it’s not already taken.

2. **Draft a Partnership Agreement**: This agreement should outline the roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing arrangements between partners. It must include:
Names and details of partners.
Business activities.
Capital contributions.
Profit-sharing ratios.

3. **Apply for an NIF**: Once the partnership agreement is signed, apply for a Tax Identification Number (NIF) for the CB at the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria).

4. **Register the CB**: Register the partnership with the Registro Mercantil (optional but recommended for legal protection).

5. **Open a Bank Account**: Open a business bank account in the name of the CB.

6. **Licenses and Permits**: Depending on your business activity, you may need specific licenses or permits.
