Applying for Residency and thought all was going to plan until i read that we cant leave Spain for more that 2 months per year in the first 5 years. I honestly thought that we just had to be here in Spain more than 6 months per year? As we have a home UK which we need to check on a regular basis for the home insurance and would not want to be here in Spain in the hot 3 months looks like we cant apply for residency?? Found this info on the web "
" Bear in mind that in order to keep your residency rights, you won’t be able to leave the country for more than 6 months in any 1 year period, or a total of 10 months during the first 5 years of residency. Once you obtain permanent residency, this period will be increased to 12 consecutive months or a total of 6 years during the 10 year period of your residency card "
Any thoughts or advice please??
