Hi, how wonderful that you are trying to get there too - good luck. Whereabouts are you relocating to ?
We raised the whole issue with our Spanish Solicitor (who spoke directly to the Alhaurin Police), the Spanish Embassy in London and the British Consulate in Malaga but returned the same answer from them all - to get into Spain you must (currently) have a Green Residency Card to get a Green Residency Card you have to rock up in person - but you cannot rock up in person to get a Green Residency card because you cannot get in without one - we suggested couriering our original passports to our Solicitor who already had POA in place and can officially act on our behalf for all legal acts in Spain - he could then rock up with them and we could video link in from the UK to prove it’s us and answer any questions - Nope 29th century solutions are not allowed.
Upshot we are homeless, have no ability to move to our only worldwide home and will just have to wait..... I can wholly understand the stance for tourists but we’ve parted with 100’s of thousands and have self isolated for 7 weeks and would be happy to take a test to prove we are not importing the virus into the country.
Never mind, patience is a virtue - the rules may change by July....
Love and good luck
