About us
We are immigrants who spent months refreshing the cita previa website ourselves. Cita Ping is the tool we wished existed.
Getting an immigration appointment in Spain shouldn’t feel like winning the lottery. Every day, people need appointments for NIE applications, TIE renewals, and residence permits — yet the official website offers no notifications, appointments appear unpredictably, and they disappear in seconds.
We experienced this frustration ourselves — the endless checking, appointments disappearing in seconds, and the stress of not knowing when the next appointment would appear. That experience is what led us to create Cita Ping.
Cita Ping watches availability across all provinces of Spain. When a suitable appointment appears, you get an alert through the channels you chose — and can react quickly without the constant manual checking.
Since launching in 2025, Cita Ping has helped users reduce stress and uncertainty while searching for immigration appointments in Spain. Our goal is to make the process more predictable and manageable during an already demanding period.
"We built Cita Ping because we refused to accept that securing an appointment should come down to luck."
Our values
As immigrants ourselves, these values aren't just words on a page — they're the principles we live by both as founders and as users of our own service.
- Empathy
- We've sat where you sit. We've felt the frustration of refreshing cita previa pages during the day and the anxiety of waiting for a crucial immigration appointment. This isn't theoretical — it's our lived experience and it drives everything we build.
- Honesty
- We're upfront about what we can and cannot do. We don't promise guaranteed appointments because that would be dishonest. Instead, we promise transparency about our service and straightforward answers to your questions.
- Community
- We're not outside observers helping immigrants — we are immigrants. We're part of this community, experiencing the same challenges, celebrating the same victories. Your success in securing an appointment is our success because we're in this together.
