I recently asked for advise here re Residencia. Much of info I got seem to be for Brittish expats. As an Irish person will I be entitled to a SIP card? Must I still change my EU driving Licence for a Spanish one. Thanks in advance.

Hello Finola,

We may be in a minority ( what’s new) but a few Irish people try to answer posts on this forum.  Administration never said otherwise.

Healthcare in Spain is fairly straightforward for an Irish person who is aged over 65 and in receipt of State Pension.

You need to become a resident of Spain to avail of full SIP card.

As you didn’t mention ages I wonder if that helps your situation?
