Looking to sign a one month lease in Denia! Any suggestion?

How do you plan on meeting the lease requirement? It seems bizarre that you need to have a lease in Spain when you don't know if or when you will get your visa to move over there.

You should come over first really and see what you'll get for your money. Its not a good idea to sign anything when you havent seen what you're getting. You could get ripped off. Also remember prices are much higher in the summer season. Monthly prices can suddenly turn into weekly prices during the holiday season

I have it all planned. I will let you know when it all comes together. I called LA consulate.....explained to them how I am going to do it...they gave me hope! I will keep you all posted!

thanks!!

now that says

− Proof of sufficient financial resources: Bank statements of the last year, investments, annuites and any other source of income totalling a minimum of $75,000.00 annually. Add $15,000.00 per spouse and per each child.

but the one from San Francisco says

Documentation and certified translation into Spanish that you have enough periodic income (investments, annuities and any other source of income) to live while you are in Spain (this will be evaluated by the Directorate of Consular Affairs) plus two copies. The minimum income required is 25,560 Euros annually plus 6,390 Euros per each additional family member. If stocks or partnerships are owned in one or several companies, it must be specified that no funds are derived from direct labor activity in those companies.

at the current exchange rate Chicago reckons you need more than twice as much as San Francisco!

After living in Spain for 3 years this fact does not surprise me at all

nor me............

I'd say that San Francisco is probably wrong though, since Chicago agrees with everything else I've ever seen
