We own a property in Los Balcones in Torrevieja and arrived in Spain on 14th August to start the process for residency so we can enjoy our early retirement..
We have an appointment on 14th September to get registered on the Padrón.
We have had over €25k in our Spanish bank for the last 3 months so thought we’d be able to start the application for residency as soon as we had the Padrón. We also are ready to go with Private Health Care once we know a date to start it from.
I’ve been advised by my solicitor that he can’t start our Residency Application for myself and my wife yet as we only arrived on 14th August and although we have had more than enough funds in our Bankinter account for the last 3 months the authorities will want to see payments going out of the account for the next 2-3 months as well.
Although we don’t have a digital signature yet I thought our solicitor would be able to use theirs for the 1st part of the application process as they also have Power of Attorney for us as well.
Just wanted to check because if thoughts are that we could start the process once we have the Padrón, I want to ask my solicitor to start the application process and see what happens..
Any thoughts, suggestions or advice would be most welcome.
Thanks
