...you are still bound by the 90/180 rule, if a eu passport holder did stay for I think 182 days they become tax residents and the non eu passport holder would need to gain a visa to stay, sign on to the foreigners register etc.
You maybe thinking of the much mentioned stay for 90 days go to Gibraltar or the U.K. for a couple of days then the clock resets back to zero so you can start again from day 1, I think you can do it on an eu passport but not UK, i have searched for the information but there is nothing in black and white that I have found.
Thanks for the reply and thats how I see it but people on other forums say a uk passport holder can travel with a eu passport holder (husband or wife) as the eu passport holder has freedom of movement across Europe and can take their spouses with them 🙏 I suppose it comes down to how border officials see it 😉
