I have a very specific question.
I am pursuing the residencia rentista. Some of you have been following my saga.
I got an income verification from my attorney, and his package included a multi-page, monthly statement from my brokerage account.
The attorny got the whole enchilada notarized and apostilled and an acquaintance brought it down to me. I took the documents to the translator. There was some confusion by her assistant and something was lost in communication. I only needed the income verification letter, notary and apostille translated - not the monthly statement. She did all that, plus she translated the multi-page monthly statement.
When I got the price, I was surprised and once we talked, we realized there had been a misunderstanding. It was mostly her fault, so she accepted a lower price of about 800 pesos. She was pretty bummed though.
The financial statement translation is interesting, it is mostly numbers with words like "dividends" and "interest" translated into spanish. But 90% of the stuff is all numbers. Its a monthly statement from a brokerage, after all.
Now, here is my question:
Do I need the financial statement translated?
If so, I owe the lady the 800 pesos. I don't think I need it translated, but I could be wrong.
I ask people to answer only if they have factual knowledge.
I am looking for anyone who pursued residencia rentista and did not have their financial statement translated and was approved. Conversely, I am looking for anyone who did not have their financial statement translated and was sent away to return with translation. Either case would provide me the certainty I am looking for.
Thank you.
