Setting up a bank in Spain
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2020 8:56am
We're heading over to Torrevieja in October to stay for Winter and I'm hoping to be able to sort out a TIE.
I have been able to set up a Spanish bank whilst in the UK (at https://www.caixabank.es/particular/holabank/home-holabank_en.html) and I have to turn up in person to a Spanish branch within 3 months to confirm this account.
That appointment has now been set up and I've been asked to bring along 'document economic'.
What does that mean?
I assume proof of income, bank accounts in the UK, passport - anything else that the Spanish banks like to see?
I'm keen to make sure I bring along all the correct paperwork with me when I depart the UK, so any guidance appreciated.
Many thanks, Paul
