Moving to spain for retirement

Wrightlift

Hi .I'm a new member , I'm interested in moving to Spain as I've recently sold my house in the UK听 . I'm concerned as to how long I have to register for residency听 prior to the December 2020 deadline . Do I have to been living in Spain for 3 months prior to applying for residency or can I apply when I purchase a property ?
听 I've read that听 I need a monthly income of e800听 per month听 minimum to prove that I can support myself听 financially
I have a pension that gives me 拢 700 per month.听 And I'm not sure if that would be taxed听 when I move to Spain
This would be my only income while in Spain
听 I'm concerned now as to whether I would be allowed to live in Spain if I don't have a monthly income of e800
Any advice would be appreciated on听 living in Spain for retirees

EU Citizen Registration

A spanish friend went to fuengirola police station last week

She asked what is the minimum income required to register, for an eu national. So includes Brits until end of transition period

For a single person it is 462鈧 per month.听 That would mean an annual income or saving, assets etc of 6,500听 because in spain generally workers get double pay in the summer and at christmas.

Thus a couple would need 11,000 p.a. savings etc.

EU. Reg requirements

As an EU national to apply for EU citizen registration (green paper certificate) you need:-

As a worker

Proof of a job or a formal confirmation of a job offer.听 That covers the requirements for income and health cover.

Or.

Proof of self employment


If not a worker

Proof of sufficient income or savings or assets, could be a property.

Proof of 100% medical cover with no excesses nor co-payments. That can be S1 cover from DWP or private insurance.

PLUS

Valid passport and copy

A Completed EX 18 application form,

Proof you have paid the fee

Copy of the appointment made online

That鈥檚 it.

If you are a retired uk citizen wishing to reside permanently in Spain ( not a worker)
Are you denied free state health care and medicines.

Johncar

A uk national who has a state pension at present can get a form S1.听 That means the DWP听 pay around 拢4,700 a year to spain and the pensioner gets free, to them, health cover.听 That includes reduced cost prescription meds.听 听It also covers dependents,

That will probably end at the end of December 2020, with Brexit, for new applicants.听 Existing ones will be ok.

There is a health cover plan which one can pay into after they have lived in
Spain for a year.

Wrightlift

Hi thanks for the reply
Does that mean if I move before the end of December 2020 I will be eligible听 for听 the health care听 and if if I move after December 2020 I have to take out private medical insurance ?

JIMMY BOND

Johncar
This information is great
I take it that a person could become resident say November 2020 and get all existing medication prescriptions met by the state

JIMMY BOND

Prescription drugs in uk are free to over 60s.
What is " the reduced cost" in Spain
Some people take several medicines daily.
In this context its important to know
