Hi do i have to be in Spain to register for residency I have a Solictor that I have used a few times as had a property there for over twenty years I know I have left it late but there has been so much uncertainty with COVID 19 and now Brexit thanks for your help Morton
Hello
Yes Mort,
You have to live here in Spain to qualify for residencia(TIE) & you have to be able to prove that, by being registered on the Town Hall Padron, also have an active spanish bank account (verified by the bank), have a regular income paid into your bank account & depending on your age either have an S1 from the UK to allow you to register for spanish healthcare, or one year comprehensive private health insurance. The whole process takes several months to accomplish.
After the end of the Withdrawal Agreement on 31/12/20 the financial requirements will increase considerably so you will need to check again if you are living here & appyling after that time.
Cheers

"proof of sufficient funds" may be higher than present"
Now there's a gross understatement!
From Jan 1st a couple will have to show either €32, 270 or €37,595 cash in the bank or have a guaranteed annual income of at least the same, practically that means pensions as nothing else is guaranteed.
And that will have to be repeated for each of the 5 years it will take for them to attain permanent residency.
Nominally an income in that region will give rise to a tax bill of around €6,000 pa.
