Hello all
A friend of mine, ignorant of the rules stayed in Spain for 9 months. He is an Irish citizen and therefore an EU citizen. He plans to return later this year. Will he be stopped from entering Spain? He flies in and out. Thanks for any advice
If he has an Irish passport there should be no issue, if however he has a UK passport that will be different as non-EU citizens can stay only 90 days in any 180 without residency rights...

As mentioned, it depends on what passport he holds; if it’s Irish, no problems (he has actually committed the offence of failing to register which you are obliged to do if you intend to remain longer than 3 months, but for EU citizens, little attention is paid to that)
If however he holds a UK passport … he’s got problems.
