Moving to arboleas

Hello and welcome to Arboleas. We are newbies and moved here in July.  Unfortunately I cannot answer your question as everything seems to be up in the air and very busy at the moment. We started our applications for Residencia and driving and it has taken quite a while which isn't fully completed on either..just a waiting game now.

Do you know anyone here who can help you or are you doing them yourselves. I can give you a couple of names as they will be able to give you the information and possibly help in the applications.

Hope the move goes ok and you get here as planned.

Best wishes 

Gwyn 

Hi Gwyn

Thanks for your reply we are getting a little help from our solicitor and also cat services at the moment, like you said it's now a waiting game. We've waited long enough to fulfil our dream so a little longer hurt.

Appreciate your time and response.

You will find the forums and bars are full of "experts" some are very good, some are not..... The best place at the moment for up-to-date information is https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-spain

Hi,

I suspect you will have some difficulties regarding residency because you were not resident by December 31st. Hopefully that will not make residencia impossible though. The CAB Spain page is full of useful links and I would definitely suggest you seek the advice of a recommended solicitor. I wish you the very best of luck.

Hi Martin.

Yes CATS are very good. Good luck and hope all goes ok.  Where abouts in Arboleas are you moving to, we in Los Carrascos.

Hi gwyn 

 Are our villa is in los garcias just up from the bar in los carroscos what a coincidence , maybe we could meet up when we move over and get settled get a few tips.thanks for you advice.

Cheers 

Martin

We are near the end of Los Carrascos just before the bridge to you. Know the bar very well now lol.  Yes happy to meet up when you're here.  If you need any info, happy to help.

You can see our villa from the bridge we face it, and we like the bar there too had a few when we was last over. We move our furniture over mid March so might give ya a shout if we get unpacked before we come back.

Hi,  we're in the same boat, villa, bank, nie, health everything other than us which doesn't seem likely until end of January. Those acting on our behalf on residentia in Albox area dont seem unduly flustered by all this providing you/we fulfill the new criteria. A friend of mine moved to Alicante area just after Christmas he started .residential process just after New year and all seems to be going smoothly so far. I agree with John1844 alot of Great advice some not so good. Were certainly not going to let this Brexit blip spoil our move. Good luck either way.
