Hi Sandra, you may still be in luck regarding moving to Spain, as COVID 19 has dealt a mortal blow globally Brexit transition will almost certainly have to be re scheduled to after the 31 December 2020, this gives you a bit more time to get residency before the Spanish gov implement the income requirements etc.
I am a uk resident work in the uk but was planning to become a Spanish resident before Dec 2020 to avoid the same, like lots of brits who have lived in Spain many years but not bothered to become a resident until now and there is a huge waiting list because of this.
Myself and Lisa have owned property's there for the last 8 years Veraplaya and south side of Vera town, Lisa has lived there for the last 4 years, there are lots of nice places Mojacar being the most touristy too busy in the summer, but Villaricos, Garrucha, Puerto Ray, Palomares, and more are ok if you dont drive, there are buses.
Lisa to become a resident needed quite a lot, NIE number, Spanish bank account with money going in and out as proof of income, proof of where she lived and more, with the help of the Spanish accountant Lisa got residency,
If you decide to go ahead Lisa and Myself would help and can put you in touch with Lisa as she can tell you first hand what you will need to accomplish this,
The COVID 19 lockdown is a problem but when travel restrictions are lifted I intend to return asap and become a resident before the Brexit transition, as I believe it will be more difficult after though not impossible,
We were originally from the NW England, Near Manchester well if we can help would be happy to do so,
keep safe Lisa and Mel.
