Any advice would be appreciated 

I came to estapona in October 2020.  I have a rental income in the UK   Registered on the padron and have health insurance both February 2021.  

The gestoria submitted credit card statement showing I was spending money in October here.  Contract for apartment dated 1st November but immigration are requesting proof I was here in 2020?

Any advice would be appreciated it was an expensive exercise to get out here and tied in to a contract etc.  

Many thanks

Kare

Your Rental Contract should suffice and  a Utility bill showing  movement on your account October thro December 2020

Thanks Nigel

Utility bill is in my friends name who I share with.  He has a Spanish bank account and has been a tenant at the property for 5 years. 

Thanks for clearing it up.  I am now thinking the gestoria hasn’t submitted all the documents I have suppl

A recent webinar I watched raised this subject and they suggested the best proof was through showing your private health insurance which apparently you have to buy annually so will clearly show the date you took this out.

Hi Kare,

I was asked to provide evidence of my Spanish bank account, NIE, Padron and I just used a Spanish solicitor who did it all for me. Good luck.
