Many of you have asked us what constitutes “sufficient resources” if you are applying for residency and not working. It’s not a straightforward question to answer! Both EU and Spanish law state that there is no set amount that a person must have in their bank account in order to meet the residency requirements for EU nationals (which apply to UK nationals during the Transition Period), but rather a series of indicators that will be considered as a guide when assessing the individual’s circumstances. These indicators are: IPREM (Indicador Público de Rentas de Efectos Múltiples. Visit http://www.iprem.com.es for information) and the annual income index for accessing social benefits in Spain and the minimum state pension from the Seguridad Social (http://www.seg-social.es/wps/portal/wss/internet/Pensionistas/Revalorizacion/30434?changeLanguage=es)

We know that UK Nationals are asked to demonstrate funds of varying set amounts depending on where they are in Spain. Often the authorities prefer to see regular income rather than a lump sum in the bank and, in some regions, they ask to see bank statements showing three to six months’ income in a Spanish bank account. Ultimately, it’s at the discretion of the Spanish official to take into consideration your personal circumstances and determine whether or not you have sufficient means to not become a burden on the state, so you may find it helpful to take along other evidence of assets when you go to your appointment. If you want to get a general idea of the figure asked for in your region, please contact the relevant extranjería office. We do not yet know what the income requirement will be from 1 January 2021, but it is likely to change.

If you are a first-time residency applicant and have a firma/certificado digital (electronic signature/certificate) you can now submit your residency documents electronically, rather than having to go in person to the extranjeria (foreigners’ office). It can be quite a confusing concept for those who haven’t had one before, but it means that you can do your tax return online, consult your “vida laboral” and do various other administrative processes electronically. You can find out how to get your digital certificate and the benefits of having one here: https://www.sede.fnmt.gob.es/en/certificados/persona-fisica. (You can change the language to English at the top of the page).
For many people the process can feel quite complex and you may want to use a gestor to get the certificate for you. If so, this list may be useful: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spain-list-of-lawyers/list-of-registered-gestores-in-spain

This is a new step to recognize double nationality with a EU country. So far Spain only recognized it for Latin American countries, The Phillipines and Sefardi Jews.

España firmará con Francia el primer convenio de doble nacionalidad al que llega con un país europeo, que será rubricado durante la cumbre bilateral que ambos países celebrarán en la segunda mitad de este año, anunciaron este jueves sus ministros de Exteriores.
