Residencia denied - Page 2

All Residencias were originally supposed to be granted by end 2020. 

The extension period into 2021 was provided in recognition of the Covid constraints last year.

From your unfortunate experience, it seems that the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate compliance with the requirements (housing, income, a bank track record evidencing residency, healthcare) as at end 2020.

So it seems that the extension is just a grace period for the admin process, not for meeting the compliance requirements.

Did you use British lawyers? Usually in spain the British have a tendency to rip other British off, 500euro to do something ya could've done yourself is scandalous.

Hi

We used Alex at a Sun Lawyers in La Zenia and the cost for both of us was €150 - however I believe we had to have the healthcare in place before the application could be submitted, so not sure how your solicitor was able to apply for you?

I would ask for proof of their application and to see the correspondence which states your were denied.  A complaint could then be made if your solicitor has “duped” you in any way, as €500 is indeed scandalous.

Good luck
