I can afford residency but don't want it. I am just miffed at how the enjoyment of my Spanish property has been impacted by Brexit.

90/180 was always there but was not enforced and even if you wanted to comply you could still leave Spain at 90 days for a couple of days (Moroccan w/e perhaps?) to reset the 90 day clock so that you did not have to seek residency and could therefore spend more than 90/180 there as long as you di...

...d not get to 183/365 and be required to seek tax residency.

Don't get me started on the increased tax I am having to pay to rent my property. Many do this to offset the costs of owning a holiday home but it is now far less helpful. I knew what was coming and bought anyway but many who owned prior to Brexit and relied on this income have been hit hard, some being forced to sell often at a significant loss.

I do feel for all of those on pensions and lower incomes whose dreams to retire to the sun have been dashed, in part by the selfishness of some leave voters who were able to obtain residency with much smaller incomes.

To be honest with you my dream is to be able to walk again. I have been waiting 18 months for treatment on the NHS but have now had to get a huge loan to have private treatment just so that I can walk again. So your problem of having 2 houses and early retirement doesn't really wash with me. Oh, and I'm 55 too. Blame whoever you want, lifes a bitch sometimes and you just have to appreciate what you do have.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Is that what has made you bitter?

No, its people resorting to abuse because I don't always agree with them. When I discuss anything if they don't like the truth that I'm saying they resort to abusive names everyone. So no its not bitter, in sticking up for myself against abusive people. In fact if you bother to look at my past posts you can see how many times I've told people to look on the bright side and be thankful for what they have. Simple

My heart bleeds for you it really does. Even the starving children and poorest people in the world feel your pain that you can't retire early and live half your year in the sun 😔 I'm sure if the people had voted leave they would have changed their vote after hearing your story. I really hope y...

Who is being nasty now! As you say,  there is no need. That means  you too. Adhere to the standards you are requesting from others .

No i will not when someone starts going on again about brexit when the discussion wasn't even about it. So when someone whines because they cant live most of the year in spain and the rest of the year in their other property in the UK while retiring at 55 its just ridiculous. Some many people have lost so much due to covid and that's what he's worried about. And if you read the post properly yet again he's used abusive names for people who voted Brexit and that's not right. So you tell me whats so bad about that post I wrote in response to his post? I'd say its very true and not abusive in the least.

Have you spoken to the British Embassy in Madrid? Their number is 0034 917 146 300. Perhaps they will clarify if your reasons are sufficient to enter Spain. 

I was trying to get back to spain earlier this year. I originally tried the the British embassy in Madrid but they weren't very helpful. I then spoke to the British Consulate in Alicante and they were absolutely brilliant. They helped me get to Spain to collect my partner. Unfortunately I do not have the phone number.
