Minors' programmes offices in Alicante

The Immigration Office in Alicante

Desplazamiento temporal de menores extranjeros en el marco de programas de carácter humanitario is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.
