Hello
I do not have residency for Spain.
I came over at the beginning of November 2020.
Does anyone know when my 90 day stay starts?.......is it at the start of Nov 2020 or does the 90 day rule renew on the 1st Jan 2021 due to the Brexit issue?
Thank you

Nobody really checked dates etc before Brexit but after 01/01/21 the 90 day rule will be enforced with passports being wet stamped. In the future there will be electronic equipment that will record movement.
The rule for you will start on Jan 2021 and the count will start next time you use your passport to enter the EU area.

If you plan to stay beyond 90 days into 2021 I suspect you might encounter some unwelcome scrutiny when you do leave.
ok Thank you for the reply

The 90 day rule doesn't start on Jan 1,2021 it is already in effect for all EU citizens moving or visiting another EU state...
The original poster has 90 days from when they arrived. It doesn't reset on Jan 1. Sorry.

This is not quite correct.
The only theoretical “requirement “ for EU citizens visiting another EU country is a request to apply for residency if staying longer than 90 days in a row. HOWEVER, if you leave said country , even for a second, this 90 day rule is again reset to 0 as there is NO minimum time required to reset the 90 day rule. In any case, the whole discussion is moot within Schengen , and thus theoretical.
Also, in accordance with EU law , as a EU citizen, you can never be prosecuted/expelled if staying longer than 90 days in a row. Except in some rare cases ( crimes, terrorism,...)
Hundreds of thousands of EU citizens spend over 90 days in a row in Spain, without any problem and without any government making a fuss about it. In reality, the EU and its member states do not care one bit as long as you are not a burden on the local social security and are not involved in social dumping.
