There is a good deal of discussion in place regarding how to get the Spanish Residency card (now TIE) and Brexit.
We have had been inundated with new enquiries from people living in Spain, who have not yet become a Spanish Resident and wish to take that step now. Thus, if you wish to become registered as Spanish Resident with a Residencia (now called a TIE), please contact us.
We are not talking specifically about fiscal residency here, although if someone lives more than 183 days in Spain, or the centre of their business or family interests is there, then they should be considering being a fiscal Resident also.
We are just talking about getting a Spanish Residency Permit (now TIE) which registers you as living in Spain and is done with the police. You have to be able to demonstrate that you can support your self financially to live in Spain.

My wife and I would like to live in Spain permanently in rented property.
We are both retired and we live on our UK state pension.
Are we able to live in Spain with just our state pension as income?
Do we have to open a Spanish bank account?
Any information would be very grateful.
Best regards
