We are a retired couple from Malta (EU nationals) who own an apartment in Torrevieja. We visit on and off but we are non residents. We really love it here. Our only income is our Maltese pensions. I am not sure about the benefits or otherwise of applying for residency. I would greatly appreciate any advice on the matter. I have been reading reading relevant information on the internet but it is not very helpful in deciding.

Where do you spend most of your time? Malta or in Spain?

It is dependent on how much time you want to spend in Spain ?

Thank you indeed. We are state pensioners here in Malta. I have to check about the S1 Health certificate system.

Thank you once again. I just need now to work out how much tax I would pay in Spain as compared to Malta. Is there some link to calculate income tax in Spain?
