Queues!
This is the first thing you will need to accept. BUT there is a way to beat the queues at the Inem office; at least the one in Orihuela.
If you turn up at 8:30 or even 7am and expect to get in line and be near the front; think again. When I went at 6:30 am one morning I was confronted by someone who I could only describe as an opportunist trying to take advantage of those queueing for unemployment benefit; not so!
OK so you want to know what you need to do... read our guide to beating the queues when signing on!
In the meantime this is the address and small map to where you need to start.
