Booking appointments

Overview

Many Spanish administrative and medical procedures require a prior appointment (cita previa), and booking systems can be confusing or fully booked out for weeks. Tuchati can help you find and book the right appointment for what you need.

Requirements

• Anyone needing to book an appointment for an administrative, medical or other official procedure
• Newcomers unfamiliar with how Spanish cita previa systems generally work

Step-by-step process

• Tell your Tuchati assistant what kind of appointment you need and any relevant deadline
• Tuchati helps you identify the right booking system and what's needed to book (documents, reference numbers)
• Tuchati can help you navigate the booking process itself, including checking for earlier availability where possible
• You attend your appointment prepared, with any required documents ready

Required documents

• Any reference numbers or documents the specific booking system requires (varies by procedure)

Common mistakes

• Waiting too long to try booking an appointment for something with a real deadline, when availability can be limited weeks out
• Not bringing the documents a specific appointment requires, resulting in a wasted trip

Practical tips

• Appointment availability varies significantly by province and time of year — booking as early as your situation allows helps
• See our Paperwork guide to booking appointments (cita previa) for how the general system works
