 The question is as above. Can you move to Spain with no UK or Spanish bank account?  I have a savings account here in UK but no money saved as yet. Do you need a good credit history and funds in a UK or Spanish bank to be allowed to move to Spain as a resident?

I believe in the last 12 months it has changed so that you must have 6000 Euro and private health cover......

Your husband’s OAP should be sufficient.   

 I would assume that he may be getting a higher rate as you are shown as his dependant. (my wife is below retirement age) 

 I would suggest you take whatever paperwork you have to prove the pension to the National Police Station where you will make the application and see if they will accept it as it is,  or if they need it in a modified form.

EHIC is not sufficient. it only covers people on holiday.

Contact DWP Newcastle and they will send you a form 121 (or it may have a new number now) which will show that your husband and you, as his dependant, are entitled to cover.  (The DWP pay around £3,500 p.a. for each person so covered).  You can then register with the Spanish Health Service.

Is the Euros 5007.81 a capital amount-or an amount a person must have on a yearly basis?

Feeg,  Either should apply, Either you have that sum in an account or that is the income which you will have in a year.

 

I see not that one could  borrow the sum, deposit it in their account, make the application and then withdraw it and repay the loan.  Yet another example of a poorly thought out regulation.  The same could apply to medical cover.  Cancel it after you get the registration cert.
