Hi

We are doing a holiday rental for 5 months from the beginning of October and understand as we are staying over 3 months that I need to apply for a resident certificate, I have done some searching and am a little confused, hoping anyone could help.

1. Do I need to be entered into the Central Register (Registro Central De Extanjeros), iand if so where do we do this- in Elche?

2. Do we need to apply for a Resident Certificate at the beginning of our stay, if so, where do we go to do this, I can see I can download the EX18 in advance, do we also need to make an appointment in advance?

3. Is EH1C card and proof of medical cover on travel insurance certificate sufficient to prove we have medical cover? (we have proof of income - we are early retired)

Thanks everyone

An EHIC certainly isn't sufficient for medical cover, and you'd need an acceptable form of private health insurance pre-paid for a year.

For the rest, look at - for starters:

If there's a hard Brexit, then you would be limited to a 90 day stay unless you had residency.

All you can hope for is that Brexit is delayed, and that the authorities don't start to monitor the length of stay of UK visitors from October 31st.
