Hi there all, first post on the forum for me, my husband, who is American and I, a British citizen, have just moved to Spain, he receives a small pension from America as he is visually impaired and we did lots of research before we came here and asked lots of questions but didnt find out until the day we got here that 3 weeks ago Spain has changed the rules on gaining residency and now you have to prove an income of 432 euros per person and have private health insurance in place or they will not give you the residency certificate, our income is 67 euros less than the required amount per month and the employment situation in Spain is very bad at the moment so I was wondering if anyone knows whether they will be really strict about the amount and whether they will take savings into account?

Thankyou to anyone who can help
