Under the rules of the deal, U.K. citizens will only be able to holiday in Spain and most EU countries for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period.
With the exception of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania, which will not limit visits in this way.
Methinks Spain will enter into negotiations with the U.K. for similar arrangements made with the aforementioned countries.
Croatia and Cyprus look appealing for second home owners.

There is always a risk that people will look further afield but many want to be close to relatives or in politically stable environments and so the options for many looking to retire somewhere warm will maybe dwindle.
In fairness the writing has been on the wall for a while now and many including us decided to retire a bit earlier and take advantage of the withdrawal agreement and the protections it offered....

Unless things are better than they look and people returning home to the UK are replaced over time, by those moving out the other way, we may well see less and less of a permanent UK presence in many of the popular spots.
Interesting times.
Not everyone was in the position to retire early in order to benefit from gaining residence before exiting the EU.
Also, opportunities for my kids and other young adults is not an option for seeking residency in other EU countries.

Many thanks
Hi,
For European passport holders and spouses there is no change from pre Brexit status as they (I and spouse in our case) are still EU citizens or have acquired right by marriage in the case of third country spouses, these regulations won't apply, I have requested professional legal advice on it and this was the answer.
If this is your specific case please double check but there is nothing to be worried about, same as for entering EU countries, if you hold an EU passport everything will be as before, hope it helps.

Hi, great info. I'm guessing Irish passport is included.

If it's a ROI passport this is for sure... also in the airports where there is a double channel for EU or non EU passports you will be able to use the EU channel, no changes from how it was.

Probably an overstatement but in current climate no passport will exempt anyone from covid related procedures and requirements, this is a completely different chapter, I will have to comply to them myself to enter my own country!

Hi, one further question if I may. With my Eire passport does the process for Residencia application remain as before (much simpler and less harsh requirements or is the process the new updated one as for non EU citizens.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
As far as I know things for EU citizens and spouses are and remain unchanged, I have had this confirmed by lawyer last week, please do not fall into the scaremongering, post Brexit online frenzy, the changes ONLY apply to UK citizens not holding an EU passport, for EU citizens and spouses residing in UK nothing changes except (maybe) on tax matters in Spain but that is by no way defined or negotiated yet... if you are not a UK resident then just don't worry, Ireland is in Europe and will still be under same regulations as before, that includes residencia procedures.
Procedures that are not made easier by covid from what I hear.... but that has nothing to do with Brexit

Brilliant thanks. On the covid front I think it will slide away as quickly as it arrived in the coming months. The link below take you to the government site for England & Wales Notification of infectious disease week by week. If you open the first section, it is for week 52, 21st-27th Dec you might be shocked to find goal cases for that week on page 14.
