I’m asking here, in the hope someone has done this recently and can offer me some advice, because we are getting nowhere with the Consulate, Embassy Spanish or Irish or general Google.
We live in Ireland and plan on staying for around 5 months in Spain over this and future winters.
Husband is Irish, I have a UK passport Border Guards always stamp my passport, dismiss the fact I’m travelling with husband, despite having wedding cert with us.
Our health insurance here, covers us for 6 months in Spain, same for t he car, although no breakdown cover.
From what we have read and been told, an EU citizen needs to register with (we think) immigration police within 90 days, but we don’t want to stay for a year or more than 6 months, which would be tax resident.
Where do we find immigration police?
We already have NIE numbers and own a house elsewhere in Spain.
Not sure that even matters.
Can anyone give me advice on where I go with this, I (we) don’t want full-time residency. I only want to avail of the same rights he has, which I can, but don’t know how to, ensure we are both legal.
We will be staying around La Mata, so any advice on what offices we might need to go to would also be helpful.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer any help here. We are going round in circles and it can’t surely be this difficult.
