As Concierge for the Spanish section of BE I would like to say hello and welcome.

The moderators for the Spanish forums are Mitzyboy and Fred James, moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE.

At the top of the page you will find a quirkily named thread called Free Beer which is full of important and useful information. Hope you enjoy your time participating in the forums.

The police station in Gandia is where we got out NIE´s.

Please let me know if you need any further help.

Hello Rosemary
we heard there are two police stations in Gandia one near the hospital in town at the back I think there said other near carrefour ??
Did you just go there no trouble or did you have to be there early to pull a number. Hope to go Monday morning
We got the patron from townhall so far so good.

Rosemary

It is the police station near to the hospital not the one near to Carrefour. We got ours in 2004 so the system is probably very different now so I cannot tell you about it.

We got our NIE numbers a year ago at the police station near the hospital. We had to go the day before at 2pm and queue for a number. They give out 40 numbers (cloakroom tickets) per day. You go back the next day and you are seen in the number order. We were lucky and got numbers 3 and 4 so we were in and out early on. Other people had to wait ages. Our solicitor came with us and did all the form filling and answering questions and then took us to the bank to pay the fee and then took us back to show the policeman the receipt. He then issued the NIE numbers. The system may well have changed again since then so check first.

Oh heck so we need to find a spanischer/english speaker first??
oh well maybe we wont get done so quickly as we thought
manjana manjana it is then....

up until the changes in rules last summer the extranjero offices were swamped with South American's looking for a move, but with the money involved this has dropped off dramatically.
so if you get there early on you may get seen and sorted on the same day.

thank you

next question for you
does anybody know what the minimum income would be to live in spain ??

EsuriJohn

The Spanish finance ministry seem to think it is about €5,500 p.a.

HeikeundAlan

for one person or both??? I take it thats the tax free allowence

lynnxa

well, it might be that - not sure....

but what it IS, is roughly the amount of money the govt gives a family to live on per month when their paro/dole runs out

& by 'runs out', I don't mean when they've spent it - I mean once they stop actually paying it - you only get dole for a limited period here, depending upon how long you worked before you became unemployed

HeikeundAlan

We have a small forces pension that keeps us going for now, we dont want any money from spain. just wonder if one can be legal here with out going bust.Been reading loads and just given myself a mighty headache, panick attack and restless night

lynnxa

I didn't think you were asking for anything - I was just trying to explain how
they come up with that figure

there doesn't seem to be anything official as to exactly how much money they want to see - some offices are asking for a regular transfer into a Spanish bank of about 630€ per month per person, some a bank balance of 5000€ - 6000€ - & some for both!
