Immigration offices in Albacete

Two administrations serve Albacete and they do not share a counter: 3 National Police units for documents, 1 Immigration Office for permits to live and work. Going to the wrong one costs the appointment.

Not all of it is in the capital: there are counters in Albacete and Hellín, and they do not all do the same things.

National Police — documents

Documents and the numbers printed on them. Appointments run on the Interior Ministry's system.

Nearly everything here needs an appointment booked in advance, hours change between winter and summer, and offices move without every page that lists them being updated. Ring first if you are travelling far. Each source below carries the date it was last read.
