These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
”That’s fine”
”It will be OK to do that”
“Perfect, just make sure to get an interest-paying account.”
”Perfect no problem”
”Each renewal you have to show adequate funds. We’re on our first renewal which will be for two years… so have to show proof of secured funds amounting to double the first years amount for both adults”
In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, keeping around €80,000 untouched in an interest-paying account should be acceptable for a 5-year period. However, it is advisable to confirm any additional requirements for each renewal with the relevant authorities.
