So, I assume no great change reading this. Apart from the possibility of having to get the “visa permit” thing 😁😁😁

And I still say the same !! Pretty much no definitive change. Apart from discussions about health cards & driving licence which they expect reach a consensus on. If it turns out that you need to prove self sufficiency in income etc, I am pretty sure that most of the people who can afford to buy a property have the means to support themselves & a IDP costs about £5 so no big deal either. Like I said & I am still of the same opinion that after all the dust settles there will be no great change

The loss of Freedom of Movement is very disappointing. The ease with which we can travel to Europe, access Health Care, Drive get assistance if needed will be replaced with rules. We all know the Spanish are strict with rules.
It does not mean that we will not be able to have regular trips, but the idea of retiring to Fuerteventura has become a lot more complicated unless Brexit is revoked.
WG thank you for the link.

At worst it'll be no worse than the Americans have it now . Once you have the visa I think the paperwork is exactly the same for EU and non EU citizens.
Health care for retirees is paid by the UK government not the Spanish. Nothing really stops the UK from continuing that if they wanted to.

I am not a wait and see kind of guy. When I am on a rail track and I see a train coming at me I get out of the way. In the case of Brexit, I am fighting it every inch of the way and even if it does happenI will lobby to rejoin EU from day one.

If you live in Fuerte full time Pp then you don’t have an issue, Spain will still be in. If you live in the U.K. then the democratic vote was to leave 🙂
