Must admit Australia is the last place I’d want to live with everything that crawls or flys trying to poison you.I suppose I’m lucky having duel passports using one against the other.When we had our villa built Spain and most of the world was a very different place to live but with terrorist ...

...and suspicion it’s become harder.I was very surprised back in June when European people that wanted to live in the U.K. had to sign up to register and nearly 6 million applied, mostly French, Spanish and Portuguese. The registration was free and no bank account were asked for.Please don’t think that I support England but I do think that there should be some sort of fairness,after all the U.K. government is always spouting about,Our friends in Europe,can’t imagine where or who they are.

Gotta say, Australia is a great place to live.  I’ve never seen a snake other than in a reptile park even though we lived across the road from a national park area. Saw a wallaby hop along the road and an echidna.  In 28 years I’ve seen One funnel web ( potentially fatal) and discov...

...ered a few red backs ( also dangerous) under a storm grate on the patio. A quick spray of mortine put paid to those.  I think I used to see more daddy long legs in the UK than any spiders I see in Sydney. Roaches, yea you get those pretty much like Spain.   If only Aus wasn’t so expensive !

Yes there are a few creepy crawly things. If I had decided to emigrate a few years earlier, I would be in Australia. However when I decided I looked at working life. If I moved to Australia I would have had to work for another 10 years. When I moved to Spain I could afford to retire at 55. No bra...

...iner really, but we already knew about brexit so we got residencia in January and moved in March. Maybe now with the effects of brexit I took the wrong decision, working or not. Being under state pension age, apart from the weather, the benefits of free movement, healthcare etc  have now gone. It's still ok if you are above state pension age as your healthcare is covered by the UK. Healthcare I would say is the main reason for people returning.

Could anyone tell me why does this 90 day apply only to Europe when most of the EU countries are either facing bankruptcy or very nearly their and could do with as many people staying and spending money?

Yes Spain has a high national debt at the moment, as does virtually, if not, every country in the world, including the UK. 2021 figures being Spain 1,392,733 Million. The UK 2,224.5 Billion and before anyone comments, YES I do know about GDP. Just pointing out everyone has a higher debt than usua...

...l and ALL will have to repay these debts one way or another (taxes)

Excerpt from UK ONS  'UK general government gross debt was 13.1 percentage points above the average of the 27 European Union (EU) member states at the same point in time'. 

Just for the record Spain is NOT turning away UK tourism, this was done by the traffic light system imposed by the UK discouraging travel to keep tourism revenues at home.

What is happening, is the EU is following the same rules for the UK as it does for any other third country. You are welcome to come to Spain for up to 90 days in 180 days. This will not effect general tourism. What it will effect is 2nd home owners who want to stay longer than 90 days.

Again for the record...the UK population opted to leave the EU not Spain. The 90 day rule was always there, it is not new. The UK population voted Brexit and were too pig headed and thought they would be immune from third country regulations, not that this was even considered when the 'benefits' of leaving the EU were debated.

Certainly where I live, El Campello, the beaches have been pretty busy throughout the season so far and that also includes UK holiday makers. Don't forget there are NO tests required for entering Spain, just for flying back to UK, so which country is currently discouraging tourism to Spain?

What a load of Tosh, I actually voted remain but Nobody knew about the rules that are affecting expats now especially 2nd home owners.

Because, unfortunately, this is what the UK population voted for by leaving the EU. Admittedly not all voted leave, but all are effected by it unless you have residencia.

The way people on here are suggesting is that the whole of the Uk voted to leave, it was nearly a 50/50 voted and it was only because Boris told a pack of lies and the vast majority believed him and the others it was all about immigrants coming into the country which was another pack of B/S so pl...

...ease don't tar everybody with the same brush, well we are now reaping the rewards of the Buffoon in charge so I hope the people who voted leave are happy. Just hope I get to El Campello in October where I have been going for over 35 yrs
