Residencies

Residencia is very complicated following Brexit. The problem is that there is no clarity as many rules have yet to be worked out and agreed upon. A good starting point would be to contact the Spanish embassy and ask them for guidance. Local authorities in the various regions are confused and interpret the rules differently. I am aware of 5 cases here in Fuerteventura where every applicant has been told something different, had to provide a variety of documents, spent hundreds of euros on abogados and intermediaries and to date, none have achieved residencia status. There is a minimum income level required, health insurance that cover everything without exclusions and must not have an excess applicable to the policy when claiming. And the list goes on. It also depends on wether you are married or single, etc, etc etc.

Take my advice and contact the embassy. Too many experts on here can lead you the wrong way, as everyone’s experience and circumstances will differ.

Thanks for your message Josh. Just as you say I will go to the source.
