you will have to be residents to be on the Spanish health system and retired.  You will be able to come on your Irish passport but your husband will have to satisfy all the rules on income and have private health insurance to be able to become a resident or as you say he would have to leave ...

...every 90 days and not return to the Schengen areas for 90 days which would make for an awkward way of life.  driving you will need to take a Spanish driving test to get a licence as you can't swap your UK ones now.  The amount of income you need to come here now has been well documented on this forum check out Dario's posts for more details.  it is do able still but with a lot of hurdles to jump.

Sorry but that's incorrect, the original post said 'Partner', not husband.

However, even so;  if it's a Spouse or legally recognised Partner of an EU Passport holder but they hold a UK Passport, as in the OP's  case, they are entitled to exactly the same as the EU Passport holder spouse.

The same as in my case,  Me & the wife;   we both have UK Passports, I also have an Irish Passport, she is entitled to everything that I am. Here's the official Government extract:    (Now fill ya boots and move to Spain)

good to know that is the case for all that have the Irish connections but the driving licence rules still apply though.

Morning!

I'm not sure that is entirely correct if the partners are not married. I live with my partner in Spain (both residents). He is about to receive his S1 but unless we marry I will not be entitled to 'piggy back' on it. Similarly, we have come across many other legal situations in Spain where as par...

...tners we do not share the rights of a married couple. Some of the problems this causes can be overcome by formally registering as 'pareja de hecho' but that would still not allow me to access public health care. Also, if a couple are not married, inheritance can become very complicated as there are strict rules regarding how an estate is bequeathed which can potentially cause problems for unmarried couples (for example, if one of the partners owned a property in their name only and they had children, they would not be allowed to bequeath 100% of the property to their partner.) This is a very complicated issue and I am not an expert, just telling you what our experiences have been, and of course, this being Spain, there could be variations between regions. My advice would be to take professional advice especially regarding inheritance and taxation before making a final decision.

That's because, as you say, you are not 'legally' recognised as partners.  That's why we have legal procedures, additional to weddings, called 'civil partnerships', its a modern way of forming a recognised partnership outside marriage.  Religious ceremonies these days can be restrictive...

... when it comes to otherwise modern relationships, same sex, gender etc? 

The original poster said 'Partner', which in both UK and Spanish law means 'didley squat' these days without the legally recognised certificate!!

No need to pay for legal advice from a petitfogger, the info is there in my attachment. Keep it simple and it'scorrect.

Actually a "partner" is legally recognised in the UK.  We drew up a Deed of Trust 34 years ago, setting out everything legally.
