How much do you need to live on

Consider 400,- as a minimum, add utilities 150,- and transport 100,- and with 30,-/day for food it all adds up to 1.200,-/mo forgetting restaurant and bar visits.

Killjoy about right but forgot to add quality of life much better, don’t forget in the winter it can feel extremely cold here because of bad insulation and tiled floors, and beautiful sunny days so warm slippers,but only a minor irri

Those figures are quite likely and that total figure is about the cost of my lifestyle here. But as you mentioned that it might be a couple of years away yet you should add a little more for inflation.

Hi could you give breakdown on utilities at 150 per month and transport 100 ,seems rather high to me ,I know you dont want to give false hope 

This issue isn't how little you need to live on, but what minimum income Spain will require you to demonstrate to obtain legal residency after the Brexit Transition Period ends   .... in 65 days.  

That number looks set to escalate dramatically relative to the current situation. 

Some people are quoting 32K Euros per annum for a couple, based on the rules applied to non-EU immigrants.

This figure will (presumably) become clear in the new year.

If that were the case I'm sure Spain would not be seen as so attractive to live ,apart from climate lower cost of living was a big draw

I also understand that €32,000 per annum will be the requirement for income to gain residency as that will mirror the income required for any other non EU immigrants wanting to move to Spain.

Hi guys thank you for your input just wanting to get a general idea

If I came over before end of December could i get my NIE before the rules come in 

Hi the cut off date is 31/12/2020 when we exit Europe so yes still possible you need residencia 

Hurry to avoid more strict regulations as at the moment it’s pretty straight fo
