New TIE/Residencia rules

Hello Darrel

If this /is your first time of having residencia /TIE then your card is classed as temporary for 5years, during that time rules do apply      Heres a link that explains how it works.  There are better links that are a bit clearer but I can't find one at the moment.  As soon as travel restrictions allow, you can use your TIE card, there is no limited time before you can leave

Hi 

Thank you 

Yes very useful information and it is my wife's first time card

On that basis will she have to wait for a qualifying period before she can leave the country for any reason subject to travel restrictions being eased 

Thanks

Good video.

The British Consul appeared to say that the S1 process is still valid for healthcare. She was non-specific on the scope of application, and therefore seemed to imply that the process is still in place going forward for UK pensioners.

I have difficulty reconciling this with the UK Gov website (quoted below).

Can anybody reconcile this for me ?

If UK pensioners wishing to retire to Spain continue to benefit fro S1 healthcare, this is really good news.

====================
State healthcare: S1

If you have a registered S1 form and were living in Spain before 1 January 2021, your rights to access healthcare will stay the same from if you are either:

• receiving a UK State Pension
• receiving some other ‘exportable benefits’
• a frontier worker who lives in Spain and commutes to work in the UK

Read our guidance on using an S1 form in Spain to ensure you are correctly registered in healthcare.

Hi thank you 

But on receiving the new TIE, does she have to wait for example 3/ 6 months before she can leave the country for any specific reason?
