I await with baited breath Dariomario response rubbishing yet another view other than his own.

Good lord ... when did the Daily Excess become “Spanish Authority”?
Well I never.

I already have a very .... unkind... view of The Daily Excess, The Daily Fail and of course The Stun.  Just cos they report it, doesn’t make it so.

Anyway, I imagine Coronavirus will slow things down a bit this year - hey, Andy - you got your Toilet Roll búnker ready for the apoo-calypse? :-D 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve answered it - it is just clearly beyond your understanding. Hey ho, nothing I can do about that.

No wonder so many Brits here are confused. EuroTrash is an utterly dreadful rag. I have never seen so much total nonsense and misinformation in a few short paragraphs - with no clarification from the so called journalist who is clearly as ignorant as the people he (apparently) talked to. Utterly ...

...shameful dissemination of fake news...

It’s also a wonder that he is blissfully unaware that the U.K. state pension is not €1100 every four weeks. If only!

Slightly of subject but have you noticed that on most forums there is always someone who is  a specialist on each and every topic?

In my day they were called,"barrack room lawyers."

Not at all Andy; I never claimed to know about percentage of GDP of other groups - I have absolutely no intention of following that rabbit down the hole either because it is not even a side-issue - it’s utterly and totally irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

I’m not anti-Brit - I’m anti anyone who comes here, shows no interest in integrating, shows no interest in learning the language, and expects everything to be delivered to their door in English....

It’s the standard income requirement for any individual citizen from a non-EU country (post Transition) that wants to live in Spain 🇪🇸- whether retired here, working here, or as part of a couple of a family here, etc. (If it’s a couple or family coming here the income requirement for th...

...e second and subsequent family members is less).

Once the UK is outside the Transition period you’ll only be allowed to stay 90 days in every 180 days. And you won’t be allowed to work here without a visa. Unless you have obtained formal legal residency in Spain before 31.12.20.

Like many that are uncertain what to do you really need to choose where you want to live. In other words, your home base cannot be in two countries. Once Transition ends if you have not already obtained Residency in Spain you will have to first apply for a visa if you want to permanently relocate here. To do so you will need to supply proof of healthcare insurance and income.

As stated in the original post pleasenote that the proof of income jumps up dramatically after the transition period.

Quite a few at present live here long term, some also work here - without obtaining legal resident status. They ignore the law and hope not to de detected. Such illegal ‘tourist overstayers’ are now much more likely to be found out now the U.K. has left the EU, and they will be heavily fined. Anyone committing an offence here might also have to leave the country...

There will be no ‘special Visa’ for Brits. Leave did actually mean Leave ...

With the greatest of respect ... that is a fantasy expats have been trying to sell themselves a long long time.  Spain can happily manage without income from UK expats, beings UK expats are only the fourth largest nationality moving to Spain, behind Romanians, Moroccans and South Americans -...

... and a very VERY long way at that.  Give or take there’s 360k Brits here.  At last count there was around 1.1 million Romanians and 900k Moroccans.

You can bank that there will be no “special arrangement” made for Brits who arrive post Transition period.

Many expats honestly believe “they need us more than we need them” .... which in part led to the debacle that is Brexit. In reality .... “they” don’t.  They really REALLY don’t need us more than we need them.

The restrictions Chrisso outlines come into effect irrespective of whether a trade deal Is agreed or not - ETIAS is being introduced in 2021, and that alone will catch an awful lot of overstayers.

If you truly believe “they need us more than we need them” and that Spain will make “special arrangements” for UK arrivals post transition period and are planning your future accordingly ... then you are in for a VERY unpleasant surprise I’m afraid.
