Many thanks

Thanks for that information!!

It's not quite as simple as that, as it's a different application form. To save myself time, I'm just posting part of my residency certificate guide:

Family members:

In this section, I am looking at family members who are unable to apply for residencia in their own right - for example, their income may not be sufficient to meet the requirements. In that sense, this section deals with those who can be regarded as dependants.

This is potentially a very large topic, as there are so many possible permutations, but I'm only going to cover the most common situations.

EU spouse or partner and other direct family members:

Your own residency certificate.

Proof of the applicant's family relationship with you, e.g. a marriage or birth certificate.

Proof that children or grandchildren are under 21 or dependent on you.

Proof that parents or grandparents are dependent on you.

Proof if they are seriously ill and need you to take care of them personally.

Proof you have sufficient means to support all the members of your family who are with you, including full medical cover.

If you're not married, you may need a 'certificado de convivencia' from the town hall (it's like a padrón). You need to prove stable cohabitation of at least one year unless you have children, in which case this is taken as providing the necessary proof.

If your family member is not an EU citizen, then they need to apply for a 'tarjeta de residencia de familiar de ciudadano de la UE', and for this the application form is Modelo EX19. It's a different procedure resulting in the issue of a plastic card bearing a photograph and thumb-print.

Death:

The death of a spouse will not immediately affect the right of residence of family members. However, after six months of the death (unless the family member has acquired the right to permanent residency), the family member must apply for a residency in their own right.

Divorce or separation:

In the event of divorce or legal separation, the family member retains the right to residency provided the couple have been legally resident for at least three years. However, after six months of the death (unless the family member has acquired the right to permanent residency), the family member must apply for a residency in their own right.

Ray can I just check, that if I rent in Spain before the end of the year, and take out long term rental ( not sure if this is 3 months or more) then I can apply fir residency? Subject to the monthly income that applies pre Brexit! I have £720 Sterling / month now! I believe one can get the NIE before arriving but what about the bank account in Spain can that be done before arriving from England? ...I intend to be here at the end of this year possibly November but December at the latest so I don’t miss out
