Hello. Considering a move to Arboleas in spring of next year. My wife is an EU citizen,(Irish) and myself British.  We have a home in Thailand but full time living is not practical in regards to the cost of Meds that I’m currently using. Humira @ 2200euro per month and Ozempic 520 euro per month! We’re currently living at home in Ireland and all my meds are free. Just wondering if anyone using this forum would have any idea of the cost of these meds as residents in Almeria? Thanks.

Hi,  I'm not 100 per cent certain that your wife's EU membership will cover YOU for free medical prescriptions.  If she was a Spanish citizen it would, but an EU  citizen with  resident status in Spain who has a third country partner....?  Hopefully someone will be able to fill you in on this.

That’s the situation that I’m hoping for. 
Thanks for the response.
