Hi Movingon

Unfortunately the state of alarm came in to play the day my wife had returned to Spain, not knowing how long the lockdown would last and having our return flights cancelled on the 30th March with no refund, we decided to stay put and stick to the rules and wait and see what would happen? Well yes we have looked at trying to return to the UK re flights, but to no avail, also in the back of our minds, what’s happening back there in the UK!!! We have always felt safe here in Spain during this time, so is/was there repatriation flights? As yes we are worried about over staying and affecting our future residency. 

Yes and have you SEEN how the UK are dealing with things. I am a proud Englishman but I have my limits.............

Hi just a note to mention as to your statement.  You need to be in spain for 3 months and have 3 months bank statements showing either €7500 each for that time or regular pension payments.

Thought I would let you know.
