Hi Pacoboy,

I´m afraid it suits the UK´s gutter press to use stories of Brits "having" to return to the UK as an excuse to criticise the EU and Spain.  Even if they thought to ask these people why they´ve had to return, I can´t see those that were illegal immigrants admitting to it.  My advice?...

...  Stop reading those media outlets - they certainly don´t care about UK citizens who were keen to move to the EU legally and who´ve had their dreams dashed.  As Angebadge has said, the deed is done - was done in 2016 - we have to get to grips with the new rules and live with them.

Kind regards,

Kim

That doesn't mean we can't try to change things, I've joined the European Movement with the short term aim of building a closer relationship with our neighbours and the long term aim of rejoining, I might not see the long term goal in my lifetime but my kids might benefit from freedom of movement...

Sorry but I don’t agree the U.K. is allowing EU nationals to visit and stay for up to 180 days not 90 , a colleague who’s partner is Romanian came to the U.K. in 2017 she applied for pre settled status using a smartphone it took 5 minutes abs she received in 10 minutes later all she had to do...

Nothing else. She did this when it first became available abs had to pay but shortly after it became free and she was refunded. 
I know this is true because I was there when she did it

Totally agree,when we all voted to leave most people with a brain realised it would take some time to settle down.

Hi Ade777,

I´m sorry to hear about your Mum.  I know it´s supposed to be the way of the generations, but it´s still hard.

When you´re ready to come to Spain, at least you´ll have had the full vaccination and, having lived in Portugal for two years, you´ll understand the stricter rules here.  I hope that you´re able to achieve this sooner rather than later and I hope the 90 days in a rolling 180 doesn´t impact your pre-Brexit lifestyle unduly.

Best wishes,

Kim
