Residencia expences

Hi may be a silly question but how far advance are you with your purchase at the moment cost obviously can be extremely different.

For instance I had to change my address on my residencia TIE and the following costs were involve, 

Padron 3 euro. TIE 12 euro. NIE I have had mine since 1966 and that number stays with you for life but I assume the cost would be about 10/15 euros or there about.

Obviously you cannot really carry out any transactions in Spain without and NIE so I have given the link to apply on line below

Hope this helps a little

Are you at the start of the process ?

If you are British, in our new post-Brexit world, you need a visa. Have a look here

Assuming you are British, want to retire to Spain, with no need to work, you need the Non-Lucrative Visa (if you want to work, there are other visas).

You have to apply in the UK. The application is filed with the Spanish Consulate in London.

Visa fee per applicant £516

Legal fees (recommended) range from £1200 for 2 applicants. You need Criminal Record Certificates and Health Certificates.

To obtain the Non-Lucrative Visa you need to demonstrate your financial/income resources, and, apparently, a mix of pension income, bank savings, etc. can be used. I say "apparently", because it is early days for this new process, so there is limited experience to go on. 

===============

Year 1          Eu 33,894       (1st applicant  Eu 27,115.20 + dependant (spouse) Eu 6778.80)

Year 2/3       Eu 67,788       (As above x 2 years)

Year 4/5       Eu 67,788       (As above x 2 years)

After the first year, subsequent permit renewals are for 2 years, hence why the first year amount is doubled for each of the two year renewals.

If you aren't British, and benefit from EU citizenship (e.g. Irish), and use a gestor, the whole thing should cost around 250 Euros each; and the necessary income levels are much much lower.

Hi Will 60. Yes we are Irish. Both retired. We are here almost 3 months. 

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated. 

Lucky people !

We are Brits .... we had a gestor do all of our Residencia stuff (before Britain lost its marbles) for around Eu 250 each.
