  • 10 years living in Spain torrevieja Costa Blanca alicante province we moved here in 2015 before Brexit ,my experience mistakes made and lessons learned my perspective on how things have changed 2015, I felt like I had stepped into a dream. The sky stretched endlessly above whitewashed villages, the scent of orange blossoms drifted through the air, and the Mediterranean shimmered under the golden sun. This was it-the life I had imagined.
    I left behind the grey skies of England, trading drizzle for sunshine, and stress for siestas. At first, it felt like an extended holiday-lazy mornings sipping café con leche in the town plaza, afternoons at the beach, and warm evenings filled with tapas and wine. I had no plans to return to the UK. Spain felt like home.
    Life Before Brexit
    Before Brexit, life was simple. Residency was easy, healthcare was accessible, and I moved freely between Spain and the UK without a second thought. I met countless other British expats doing the same-retirees soaking up the sun, remote workers setting up a new life, families enrolling their kids in local schools. We were not "immigrants" in our minds; we were just Brits in Spain, part of a long tradition of sun-seekers.
    I bought a quad house near Torrevieja, a nice place put a pool in it made it a modern place with 3 terraces overlooking the sea and the salt lakes .Mornings were spent strolling through the market, practicing my broken Spanish with friendly locals. I never imagined that a political decision thousands of miles away would change everything for people that want to live the dream ,just glad I done it before Brexit and got a good exchange rate ,no turning back. please if you can support me with my expenses and my editing cost and other thing I appreciate that

    If you plan to stay in Spain for more than 90 days, you will need to apply for a long-stay visa. This includes visas for work, study, or family reunification. Each type of visa has specific requirements and application procedures.
    UK citizens residing in Spain before January 1, 2021, should have registered for residency under the Withdrawal Agreement and possess either a green residency certificate or a new TIE (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero).
    Work and Study:
    To work or study in Spain, you will need the appropriate visa. Employers or educational institutions can provide guidance on the specific visa type you need and the application process.
    Healthcare:
    Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers healthcare. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) remains valid for UK travelers until its expiry date, but new applications will be for the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC).
    Driving in Spain:
    UK driving licenses are valid in Spain for short-term visits. For long-term residents, exchanging your UK license for a Spanish one is advisable.
    Customs Regulations:
    Be aware of customs regulations when traveling from the UK to Spain. Limits apply to the amount of goods you can bring without paying duties, including alcohol, tobacco, and cash.
    Preparing for Your Trip:
    Check your passport's validity.

    Absolutely sound advice for us new arrivals! I love that the insurance covers any driver too. Weird how there are no looky looky guys in Benidorm, Police must be a bit more serious here for some reason. I have to agree, waking up to the sun rather than dark miserable rainy days is such a blessing. Never going back either!!!
