Hi,

Applying for residency is the same as applying for a TIE card.

You will need to prove that you have enough income to satisfy the authorities you won't become a burden on the state and that you have full healthcare cover for you and any dependants. 

You will need to show that you have a Spanish bank account with a monthly income of around €500 for a single person or around €900 for a couple. The authorities will expect to see the bank account with incomes for the last three months and some outgoings being paid to various companies to prove that you are actually living in Spain. 

You will need to prove that you have full healthcare cover paid upfront for a full year. 

An NIE will be issued as part of a residency application.

You will need to prove that you have a rental contract or deeds to a dwelling. 

You will be cutting it very fine to complete your full residency application before 31st December and I suggest that you contact a gestor to help you through the process.

For Private Health Insurance we use Gran Alacant Insurance, look for their advert on the Forum Home page, we and many others on the Forum can highly recommend them, contact their office and speak to Alfonso who will be able to help you with all the options.

You will need to show that you have a full years private healthcare cover paid upfront for a full year. 

After a full year living here legally in Spain you can apply to join the Convenio Especial which is the Spanish healthcare system. You pay them monthly and you're covered for everything. The S1 healthcare is for retired expats who are collecting UK government Pension. ...
