Gijón Contigo guides newcomers through Spanish bureaucracy — Padrón, NIE, TIE, tarjeta sanitaria, Social Security, Cl@ve, arraigo, and more. Whether you are an EU citizen, a non-EU national, a refugee, or a Ukrainian temporary protection holder, this app gives you a clear, step-by-step roadmap in plain language.
The app does NOT process applications or represent any public institution. It explains exactly what to do and links directly to the official government source for each procedure. No guesswork, no dead ends.
