Hello! My name is Pavlo and I have recently joined the forum. I am a Ukraine national and have been living in the EU for quite a long time for studies and work. I am looking into ways on how to obtain a EU residence permit for my mother who is a national of Ukraine too, but is living in Russia. She is 69 y.o.
One of the options we are considering is the Spanish NLV. Have been reading the posts on this forum (very helpful, thank you!) and got a couple of questions at this point. Would be grateful for any information or a piece of advice!
- It seems that it is possible to apply based on savings only. My mother does not have a passive income and her pension does not suffice either. So the plan is that I will transfer the required amount to her account (which is still to be open). Does the source of the funds on my mother's account matter, i.e. that they will be transferred from my EU account?
- Should the funds be in a bank account on her name or will a joint account suffice?
Thank you!
