Spanish Residency for workers

- Income after tax of 850€ per month minimum into your Spanish bank account, with evidence of it going in for 3 months

This is some extra information for you to know:-
There are other circumstances that can make it easier to get residency in Spain.
For example this situation is a slightly different one:
We have as clients, an Irish married couple. She has a British passport, one of them is retired and can have the S1 form to get residencia, the other one (not retired yet) can apply for a S1 AS BENEFICIARY ( This works only if the couple are married).
We can apply for residencias for both with normal S1 (for the British pensioner) and the “S1 as beneficiary” (for the spouse) , plus the marriage certificate.
These are just ways we can help people to get Residency here on the Costa Blanca!

We have a house in Pilar (Murcia Province) Twenty years. We both have N.I.E. numbers when we bought the property. I don’t know if these are still useable for Residency or Padron purposes, your advice would be very helpful. Thank you.
