Residencia denied - Page 4

How did you get on? 

I don’t know where you are, but my husband lived with me through my trials and tribulations getting my TIE.   He says if he can help you in any way he will.  He’s not legally trained though, just speaks the language and is au fair with ayuntamientos, police stations,  etc. 

Same happened to my friend as Couldn’t Get Appointment! Been here 7yrs !! Going back to UK 😳😞 I’m sorry for your result. Fight, you were before Brexit..... 

Hi Thanks for reply , Sorry to hear about your friend , it's a nightmare got a number to ring just sorting out as much.proof as we can get , to put forward an appeal 

Hi Margi,

I may have misunderstood your post, but if your friend had been living permanently in Spain for 7 years without lawful residency before Brexit, they were an illegal immigrant.  How is this Spain's fault?

Hi Kim, sorry, you miss understand my meaning..... maybe the way I wrote it ! Oooops. Of course you are right, I got my Residencia as soon as I got here.. I’m just sad they are going ..... I read Many of your helpful posts x I totally agree with you ! 

Hi Margi,

Sorry, I wasn't questioning your own residency, but that of your friends because of what you said about them being here for 7 years.

It seems many Brits either believed Brexit wouldn't make a difference to them, or perhaps they couldn't afford to apply for residency before Brexit.  However, if that was the case, those same people certainly won't be able to afford the financial requirements of Spanish residency post-Brexit.  I just wish they had listened to the advice from bona-fide fora such as this, instead of bar-room lawyers 😔

Hopefully, once Covid restrictions are lifted, you'll see your friends again soon 👍 In the meantime, stay safe.

Best wishes,

Kim

That's why when we moved over in  November we tried to get everything in place before end December,  just couldn't get pre brexit appointments , thats the problem we facing , although the lawyer we used have said they can't help us further ???, hasn't even suggested applying as an non EU national , we have the financial requirements but they just cut us off , feel totally ripped off by them ☹

Hi Kim..... 

I get that, and I agree wholeheartedly! They are New friends but I will still miss the company..... I also tried to warn others that they needed to get Residecia but they said 

nahhhh there are loads not doing it, they are not going to throw us out are they !!!! I said,  I think you will find they Are going to be checking when you go back and to ! But wouldn’t be told ..... 

Regards xx 

Hi Margi,

Some of the illegal immigrants may get away with it for the rest of this year, but when ETIAS is introduced in 2022 it will be impossible,  especially for those who are also abusing the UK by going back there for NHS healthcare.  Personally, despite some sections of the media reporting otherwise, I don't believe the Spanish police will need to proactively seek them out - even for those who are content never to leave Spain, the police here do seem to like a roadside check for one reason or another.... it's just a matter of time 😉😄

Kind regards,

Kim
