Morning all, aware that there have been some previous script on this issue but having just completed my allowed 90 days in the previous 180, I would like to know if anyone’s done the same and then upon return to the Uk applied for a long stay visa to then return to Spain longer that the 90 day ...

...rule. I have the required NIE number and pay all my Taxes having purchased a property 2 years ago. I have a Spainish car and pay car tax and insurance in Spain with a Spanish company. I don’t want to work in Spain I just want to visit my property for longer each year.  Those that feel compelled to gloat about BREXIT and to tell me what I can not do, I would respectfully ask that you don’t reply has I would like to know from like minded people like me whom have a genuine request for help and information.

Regards

Hi David,

Sorry to say that those issues are still on hold and no agreement has been made yet. Until then I'm afraid that the 90/180 still holds.

There has been nothing official regarding the proposed variation in the 90 days/ 180 days rule which was being considered by Spain. But I believe it is still on the table!. But the fact that if Spain adopted this amendment it would mean they have moved from the existing EEC rules will likely make...
