Are Brits still retiring to Spain?
Are Brits still retiring to Spain? Administrative procedures have changed, and some are slightly more complex than before, now that British people are subject to the same immigration rules as non-EU citizens. But fear not, even though things are not as quick and simple as they used to be, retiring to Spain from the UK is still an excellent option.
Will Spain extend 90 day rule?
Spain currently does not have any plans of changing the 90-day rule. Technically, this rule is not under Spanish jurisdiction, as it is a rule that applies to the whole Schengen Area. So even if Spain wanted to change this rule, the change can only be initiated by authorities of the European Union.
Is it cheaper to live in Spain or UK?
Overall, total living costs in Spain are an incredible 21% cheaper than in the UK. This represents the average for the whole country, and depending on exactly where you are relocating from and to, this could be even higher.
How many times can you visit Spain in a year?
This is fine if your trips will be no longer than three months at a time, no more than twice a year. If you want to spend more than six months a year in Spain, you can't do so on a Schengen Visa, and will have to secure a long-stay visa before visiting the country.
