After Brexit

Exactly...I don't believe that to be true. Probably will just need medical insurance.

Hi Paula3 

Thank you for seeing this how I see it My in-laws live very comfortable on €1000-€1500 a month €18000 a year and that’s running a car and a pool 

Have a look at Jim's guides - either click on the menu at top left of this page or scroll down and click on it on the RHS of the page.

Unless some special arrangement is put into place for British people, we will be treated as all non EU immigrants. Spain has something called the IPREM which currently is 6.454,03 Euros per annum. It more or less equates to a Spanish minimum wage.

A non EU immigrant requires an income of 400% IPREM which equals 25.816,12 Euros p.a. Each extra family member increases the requirement by 100% IPREM, therefore a couple would require an annual income of: 25.816,12 + 6.454,03 = 32.270,15 Euros.

Yes but that's the worse case scenario. The Spanish want Brits there buying their houses.

Blimey! Where on earth do you keep reading that?  I've never come across that figure or even close to it before but would suggest visiting the CAB Spain website if you want the current accurate information.  You can also ask questions on their site. At present nobody is sure what the post-Brexit requirements will be but most likely it will be based around showing that you have medical cover in place and have sufficient income on which to live. Good luck if you do make the move.

The €32,000 you are referring to is for none EU citizens that want to live in Spain ...I have 2 American friends that live in Spain and proof of €32,000 per person plus a private health care policy had to be shown before they would be accepted as Residents....so I guess that when the UK leaves the EU on January 2021 the Spanish will be forced to implement the same entry rules to UK citizens that currently apply to other none EU members ...the UK government has already stated that it will carry on paying the €4,700 per year ...per UK OAP if they are Residents of Spain before January 2021 ...no other agreements have been made between the Spanish and UK government's .. other than if ( any) UK citizen want's to emigrate to Spain after January 2021 they will they will need a private health care insurance in place ...and I can only assume €32,000 per person in the bank before acceptance ... personally what ever happens the current UK OAPs that are in Spain will be the last you see unless the UK / Spain can come to some sort of bilateral agreement ...but what ever the case maybe if you are from the UK after January 2021 you will need a private Health Care policy to go on holiday or to reside in Spain / EU as the S1 and the EHIC cards will no longer apply anywhere across the European Union...What ever you do don't blame the Brexit ...you can blame it on the likes of the 6,000 gypsy family's from the so called EU that turned up over a 12 month period at Rotherham councils door demanding a council house and Dole money as it was their rights according to Brussels... freedom of movement will not stop on January 2021 anyone from the EU will still be able to come to the UK on holiday and if they want to stay in the UK all they will need to do is pass a points based system to do so...not unlike the same points base system that has always been in force in Spain...but what I can't understand is why the EU has accepted the Spanish government's demands on residency ..but point blank refused the UKs demands to in force the same for EU citizens to reside in the UK....so I guess it's the EU to blame for the Brexit .

32.000 in the bank OR an income of 32.000 every year?

€32,000 in the bank ..but some area's ... you also need proof of future income .

Surely its income, not bank balance? Its always been quoted as "income". Anyone could spend £32,000 in a short time, so I,m 100% sure its income as that's always been what EU demanded from non EU immigrants. I cant see UK getting special treatment it would cause huge controversy from all the other non EU countries.
