Resedencia and health insurance

Ref insurance, scroll down the page and click on Gran Alacant Insurances. Alfonso has an excellent reputation.

Ref tax, if you stay here 183 days or more in a calendar year, then you pay tax here on all your income. You can offset tax due by the amount paid in the UK. After submitting your first return here, you can opt out of the UK tax system. 

Financial requirements for residency are set by law, but many national police stations apply their own criteria.

True but with Brit applications now being handled centrally in Alicante surely that's an 'inconsistency' which should no longer be a feature. Maybe someone who has recently acquired residencia via that route can comment?

History now of course but when we obtained our residencias  in Orihuela our financials were barely glanced at. 

True, but this forum also covers the Valencian province, where individual police stations are still taking applications - and applying their own criteria, favourably by accounts of people I know who have done it.

I do agree that feedback is needed from someone who has done the deed at Alicante.

Brexit will lead to needing to prove an income of ~€2400 per month - effectively stopping people moving here - but I'm waiting to see what the Ministry of the Exterior say when the day comes.

Received our residentia at Alicante on Boxing Day and with the proper paperwork it took us a whole 5 mins

I'm sure it would help others if you'd advise whether they were looking for regular income over x months, or a lump sum, and whether they accepted UK bank statements.

They accepted bank statements from the last three months with a total over the €7000 each total.

Sorry to push this I'm a bit confused (doesn't take a lot) but did you show a 7,000+euro lump some or the 750euros a month figure that is expected.
