Inference from any EOS member is not absolute clarification. If you are concerned that you may not meet the entry requirements to Spain or any other country you wish to visit you should view that country’s consulate website, and if still confused contact the consulate direct. This is a much safer and reliable option than taking advice from a mate down the pub. Spanish Consulate.

I understand you think not everyone has bank accounts on phones, I don't know where you live but if I am in a queue in many shops you might be surprised as to how many pass the phone over the pay machine.

And if this did happen what's wrong with doing a copy of bank accounts?

Personaly I don't think this will happen, to contravesal to say the least, can't see the likes of someone with a couple of millions showing it....would you?

An accurate summary of the rules and plans for pre-departure clearance systems in the EU and UK aligning with the US systems.

On arrival, border control officers can ask any questions they think reasonable about a persons travel from their place(s) of origin and their stay in the country in which they arrve. This include length of stay, return arrangements, where they are staying and the money they have.

Also possesion of a valid visa does not mean right of entry, that can be denied on arrival.

In practice, arriving in Spain as a family on Holiday will mean a look and a stamp in your passport, others may get closer questioning, in some cases a refusal.

The pre-entry clearing will be a minor inconvenience at a small cost for the emajority of people. 

A visitor to the UK has permission to stay for 6 months. Where a visa vignette (or electronic visa) has been granted before travel, multiple entries in the period of validity of the visa can be made. In theory the 180/365 rule applies.
