There are multiple options, since there is a wide offering of apartments in Madrid, and in this case <\/span><b>ShMadrid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be especially helpful. <\/span><b>ShMadrid <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/long-term-rental?order-by=availabilitylowestprice&amp;price-to=3000&amp;surface-to=240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>temporary rentals<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for durations of one month to one year, forming an ideal solution for those looking to stay in the city for a shorter period of time.

For both of these things, you\u2019ll need to obtain a <\/span><b>NIE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or N\u00famero de Identificaci\u00f3n de Extranjero, which allows you to carry out a number of administrative functions in the country. For example, you need a NIE in order to open a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/what-to-consider-when-choosing-a-bank-in-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>bank account<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, something very important to have if you plan on staying in the country long-term and want to start working or rent an apartment. Since these procedures generally take a longer time to complete than desired, it\u2019s a good idea to apply for your NIE before moving to the city if possible, so you can get everything done in a timely manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Related article: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/madrid-neighbourhoods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neighbourhoods of Madrid<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7814\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7814\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7814\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-810x540.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.shmadrid.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/truck-1030846_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7814\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo via Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, when you move to a new city, you can always enlist the services of an international moving company especially if you\u2019re wanting to take a lot of your possessions with you.
