I'm looking to rent in Santa Pola starting in September.

Can someone help me re the order I need to do things?!

I think its

1. Get a Spanish Bank account

2. Apply for the NIE

3. Rent somewhere

4. Get Padron

5. Apply for residency

Sorry I know there is LOTS of info on here and I will read it all but I'd like to get the general order of things right first, I'm finding it all a bit daunting.

Thanks all

John

NIE precedes the bank account,

If your age is less than 66, you need private healthcare before applying for Residency. If you are 66 or more, you need an S1 for Spanish NHS

Suggest you look at Jim's guides.

Given your timescales, I strongly suggest you engage a gestor and an insurance broker. Also a Spanish lawyer to act on your behalf to obtain your NIE/set up your bank account (you give them power of attorney), and to check that you have a sound lease. Ideally, set up a relationship with a firm that provides all three services.

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

"You will need to show a regular monthly income into your Spanish bank account of about 900€ per month in order to prove you can support yourself"

And they usually want to see at least 3 months income paid in.

Thanks Ray

Really useful information especially re the rental agreement.

I probably won't be working in Spain but will continue to do some work in the UK/Overseas/Online but that could change.

Thank you once again
