None of this is worth the virtual paper it is written on of course!
Aifos broke every single aspect of this "law"; contracts had no guarantee written in, the funds were not protected, there was no completion date, bank details were not given etc. etc etc.
The result?-- thousands of " conned" customers, no refunds, and Aifos STILL operating having made a derisory offer of partial repayment in another 10 years.
There can be no worse law than one that is not applied.

Well, finally succeeded in registering!! The translation of the insurance cost € 490 plus the gestor's fees, plus two lots of bank certificates etc.They didn't even look at the translation; it could have said anything!!!

My insurance company has provided me with a Spanish version of the certificate but my wife's company does not offer a translation at all.MyGestor is trying to get a definitive answer from the police station today before we look at the costs of translation.

Hi Fyfin,

Unfortunately they won't accept a translation of the certificate alone because they want to see the cover details to ensure it is comprehensive. As you say , I fear it could cost hundreds.
Our Gestor has told me they are getting tight on registering people now; how does that square with the legal requirement to register????.

Hi 66 . Solvit have just confirmed that documentation MUST be translated into Spanish unless it is a standard EU form ( like the S1) It may be an infraction if a standard form is asked to be translated.

So, basically, if you are here for 3 months or more, and below state pension age , you must register but you also must have a bank certificate showing you have sufficient funds and you must have a Spanish translation of comprehensive health insurance or they won't register you but they can't deport you either. I am faced with paying a large sum for a translation or " flying under the radar" like so many others. I only want to do the right thing- why is it so difficult????.
