Hi Marie, do you have the link for the petition please? Many thanks

It’s all worth a try - sadly I don’t trust this government as far as I could throw throw them!! Apparently according to the Times even 60% of those who voted leave think it should be suspended until the virus is out of the way!

Hi Andy,

I just need to clear up a misconception regarding healthcare.  Residencia does not automatically qualify you for Spanish healthcare.  You must HAVE healthcare before you can apply for Residencia.  This is achieved in 3 ways:

1.  By being retired and providing an S1 form from DWP

2.  By obtaining Private healthcare valid for at least one year

3.  By being employed on contract, or being self-employed and so paying Autónomo.  It is the payment of autónomo that will qualify you for Spanish healthcare once Residencia is granted.

Once you have had Residencia 5 years, only then do you automatically qualify for Spanish healthcare, irrespective of autónomo being paid.

Post transition period, you will not apply for Residencia as UK will be a third country.  At this stage, we are lead to believe you would apply under the General immigration regime, which places an income requirement almost 3 times the current requirement to qualify.  At current it is 9.050€ per person applying annual average bank balance (or 5300€ each if a couple) 

Post transition period, that requirement changes to an annual income of 27.000€

Hi Dario

You mention the currently anticipated 27000 euro income criteria required to gain residency following the transition period. Do you know what the total would be for a married couple? If it is 27000 each then it I imagine this certainly will be beyond many people's means. We have a house near Sorbas which took us over twelve months to buy due to the legal issues commonly associated with buying a house in the campo and it was our intention to apply for residencia earlier this year but Covid 19 has put paid to that for now. 

kind regards

David

I'm afraid I don't.  The amount of 27.000 € per annum income is what has been stated for an application under TIE rules, but I don't know if that is per person or per couple, or if there is a lower burden for a couple - I simply don't know and I'm not going to mislead you by pretending I do.

HOWEVER, whilst trying to find an answer, I came across this rather excellent website and I would encourage you to have a look through.  It answers a lot of questions and has a section devoted to Brexit.  (as well as posting here, I actually think I will post it as a new topic on the forum as well)

Thanks you for that. If we don’t make ‘the cut’ at the end of the year because of travel restrictions do you know if the 27000 eu has to be in the form of income? We will have property in Spain to the value of probably 350,000 euros but I draw my pension according to what I need which is le...

He has very little brains to pick I'm afraid .....He has a lot of hot air and 'cut and copy' pages as many of us have found out!.....LOL

The Spanish needs people to apply for Residentia as they need the income.....even more now.....so I suspect they will put more people on to these applications as soon as it is able do....The Spanish love paperwork, so will not pass up a chance to make more!!!!  Lets not worry too much....as my old mum used to say....'''It will all come out in the wash''.....
