I own a holiday apartment in Rojales and the plan was to retire there once I reached retirement age which is still a few years away.

But with Brexit I don't know if I can still do that. I don't have a mortgage on the apartment, but I will only have my state pension and a small private pension.

I find the various websites I visit quite confusing in terms of how much you need to earn each month and private health insurance. It all seems a bit of a minefield. Has anyone any advice about this topic please?


Thanks, Pauline

The current situation is described here with links for more detail: marcliff-s-tips-and-guides-for-spain-f214/residency-in-spain-t51061.html

Thanks Paul,

That was a very helpful link. The figures are equivalent to a low range salary in the UK so I guess I need to hope my private pensions prosper (very doubtful going by the current political trends)

this is the sad face of brexit

The income requirements are to prove that you have sufficient funds not to be a burden on Spain during your the period of your visa. It's not necessarily income but could be money held on deposit in a Spanish bank. This money could come from various sources such as a UK house sale or sale of investments.
