Entitlement to Spanish health care after Brexit

This question may have been answered previously but I'll ask again, as I am a bit confused.

If I moved to Spain after 2020 on an Irish passport and as a UK Pensioner with 2 pensions - one a state pension, the other an occupational pension - a little mixed up maybe, am I entitled to free healthcare if I obtained Spanish residency.  Also, I seem to find different answers to this one ...

...- how much money do I need to have being paid into my bank account each month.    Highly unlikely that I would be moving before end of 2020.

Yes, I’m pretty sure when we met up at Gran Plaza in 2019 we did discuss this.

1.As you have an Irish passport you will not have the hassle in getting residency here after January that U.K. citizens will have. But if you plan to stay more than 90 days you will need to obtain residency. Don’t forget that if you get residency you will need to ensure you are not outside Spain for more than six months at a time maximum. Or you will lose residency rights.

2. Dario can probably tell you how much as an Irish EU citizen you need to be receiving for monthly income - around €600-650 each month I think. 

3. As you will be getting a U.K. state pension you can get a S1 - but only if you arrive by 31 December! The S1 will entitle you to free state health care in Spain. If you delay ‘till 2021 you will not get this.

Hope this helps

If the financial criteria for Irish passport holders is €600-€650 per person, is there a different amount when applying for Residencia as a couple please?

The figures below are what the Spanish government state is the accepted amount and taken from the minimum income in Spain, the non contributory pension. The civil servants in the various offices for soliciting residence are allowed to use their discretion so figures will vary.

Valid for Residency Applications citizens of the EU, EEA and Switzerland (until 31 December inc U.K. citizens)...

Annually 2020:

Individual. 5.538,40 euros.

With families...

2 members    9.415,28 euros.

3 members. 13.292,16 euros.

4 members. 17,169,04 euros.

These annual requirements quadruple after the Transition period ends on 31 December - for any UK citizens arriving here after that date.

No I’m afraid I can’t answer that! When we left the U.K. we rented out our house in Manchester but we did not start receiving payments until a month after we got residency here. 

I imagine you would have to show that this was a regular and reliable source of your income so maybe a statement from a lettings agent of the payments received - AND over a 12 month period or so? but that is just a guess....
