Good afternoon,iam after some more help and information if possible.Has anyone seen or read any clarification on the financial requirements to now retire in Spain. I have read various articles and Iam still confused. I understand that for my wife and myself to gain residency,we first of all need ...

...to show a minimum of around €33,800 in our Spanish bank account for the first 12 months then reapply for a 2 year visa,but does this mean we would then need to show a current balance of double that amount,I.e €67,000 ?

Any information on this would be very much appreciated,

Regards,Paul.

Thanks

Michael

Hi Michael , I like you was born in NI , have just retired to Spain and have an Irish passport - see my earlier reply in this stream. As EU citizens ( Irish passport) the new rules do not apply to us just the existing EU rules , thank goodness, happy days.
