Fast Pat Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 pelmetman - 2019-08-15 9:38 AM This temporary residence permit allows you to stay in Spain for between 90 days and five years, and can be renewed." https://www.expatica.com/es/moving/visas/visas-and-immigration-102354/ Interesting the bits you have missed out from that link: "Long-term visas for Spain Unless you’re a citizen of the EU/EEA or Switzerland you’ll need a longer-term national visa (visado nacionale) if you intend to live, work, study or carry out research in Spain for longer than three months. This will depend on your purpose of stay, as detailed below. Long-term Spanish residence and work visas There are different residence and work permit types, depending on the purpose of your stay, including: a combined residence and work visa (visado de trabajo y residencia) allowing you to live and work in Spain; a student visa (visado de estudios) for the duration of a educational or training course; a residence visa (visado de residencia) for family reunification or retirement. Spain work visa There are several different types of Spanish work visas, as well as exemptions, depending on your employment situation in Spain. Work visa requirements can be found in our full guide. You cannot apply for your own work visa in Spain – Spanish immigration law dictates that employers must submit the application on your behalf. Work visa/permits are issued by the Labour Authorities in Spain (Delegación Provincial del Ministerio de Trabajo e Inmigracion). Spain student visa Spain is very popular with students from overseas. Indeed, a 2018 survey by GoEuro claimed Spain was the number one destination in Europe for students looking to study abroad. If you want to study, carry out research or take on an apprenticeship in Spain you have to find a course or programme that will accept you first – only then you can apply for a visa. For more information, see Study in Spain: Spanish student visas and permits. Spanish tourist Schengen visa Spanish tourist visa requirements include completing an application form, which requests a photograph and information about your residency, purpose of journey to Spain, and the number of Spanish tourist Schengen visa entries you require. You can watch a short video on how the process works. Spanish residence visa Both Spanish citizenship and a Spanish residence visa (permanent) allow you to stay living in Spain, but some differences exist between the two. Residence visa requirements include giving up your original nationality and passport to become a Spanish citizen. Learn more in our full guide on Spanish passports. Spanish business visa Spanish business visa requirements state that a short-stay visa for Spain will enable you to visit the country, but does not permit you to work there. Should you be relocating to Spain for business purposes you will need to request a Spanish business visa. This is otherwise known as a work permit. Spain spouse visa and family reunification Once you have been living legally in Spain for a year and have received official confirmation that you will be staying for a further year, you can apply for family members (for example, spouse, common law partner, and dependants, including children under 18 and parents over 65) to join you in Spain. If you hold a long-term residence permit from another EU member state (an EU Blue Card), you can apply at any time. Students can apply for their family members to join them while studying in Spain. The relatives’ residence permits are usually granted for the same duration as the student’s residence permit, and allow the holders over 18 to take on employment in Spain without a work permit. Should you be looking for a Spanish spouse visa, you will need to apply for family reunification. Should you not yet be in Spain, you can apply via the Spanish embassy who outline the Spanish spouse visa requirements. If you are already in Spain, you will need to visit the local Foreigner’s Office, taking a set of documents with you. For more information, see our guide on moving to Spain to join a relative or partner. Spain retirement visa The current pension age in Spain is 65 years for both men and women, though it will rise to 67 by 2027. Should you be planning on taking your pension in Spain, you will need to set up a Spanish retirement visa. Spanish retirement visa requirements state that if you are an EU citizen you will need to possess an S1 form before travelling. This means you will have access to healthcare in Spain. Spain visa for medical reasons If you plan on living in Spain to access Spanish healthcare you will need to register, as your European Health Insurance Card won’t cover you. You will not need a Spanish visa for a medical reason but if you have no insurance, you will most likely need to pay for being treated as a private patient. If you are a student, travelling to Spain you may need to provide a medical certificate for your Spanish visa (link to ‘Spain student visa’). There is a youth mobility agreement between Spain and Canada for young people aged 18 to 35 to visit Spain to travel and work for up to a year. For details, see one of the Spanish consulates in Canada. You can apply for a long-term visa from the Spanish consulate or embassy in your home country, or sometimes online on their websites before you come to Spain. The application must be made in person or through an accredited representative, and you usually have to pay a non-refundable fee of around €60. Allow plenty of time for the consulate to process your application." So which one are you going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not making this up, these are first hand accounts I have come across. Some countries are more lenient than others in how they will treat you if caught ranging from a fine of a few hundred Euros to over a thousand and in some cases being slung in jail and then fined and deported but there is no getting away from it, 90 days is your limit. What would happen to your motorhome if caught is also another question if your deported.

As bulletguy states I don't necessarily think there will be a problem milling around Europe (not so much anyway) but the problems couod start when you get back to The British port where they could implement the 90 day law. I remember touring Europe in a car as a teenager, ( there was border control in those days), we had no problems anywhere (except Gibraltar a British colony but that's another story !) until we got back to Dover. It was the the third degree and they took half the car apart. So in my opinion don't expect a soft Brexit from the British authorities. As said I read up on this considerably as I think did Brian Kirby. It was going to be something that effects me a fair bit as most of our trips over the water are 4-6 months in duration. I joined various travel forums from outside of Europe and there were many confirmed first hand cases of people being caught while in country and fined for overstaying and in one case (Holland I think) someone was locked up in jail until they decided what to do with them. You are generally immediately deported and in some cases can be banned from returning. I would suspect you could wing it but as said you may come a cropper at the border when you leave. Then there is stuff like insurance etc to consider. You cant just leave for one day and come back either like Mr Birdbrain is suggesting. You have to wait another 90 days outside of Europe. Trust me there is no "legal" way around it. Before retiring i'd had fanciful ideas of doing an East to West then back to East coast circular tour of the US. Used motorhomes are seriously cheap and the market is vast. An RV for one person is way too big so i'd settled on a C class. Most of their mh's are petrol driven....very few diesel, but fuel cost is peanuts by comparison to ours. I'd planned on 18 months......and that was my stumbling block because i soon found the Visa Waiver programme only allowed 90 days. Useless. I then posted on a US RV forum, majority of fm's were US apart from a few Canadians and a Brit guy who had moved to live there. A Visa would give me 6 months so that was still no use but i got all sorts of conflicting advice. One American fm posted all i'd need do if near the Canadian or Mexican border when the visa was due to run out, cross over the border, hang around for a few days, then re-enter and get it stamped for another 6 months. That quickly got squashed by other Americans who said if i tried that i'd end up getting deported and lose the mh as the authorities would put me on the first flight out and i'd never be able to re-enter US as my passport would be marked and logged. I gave up on it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with Spain, Switzerland or whatever other country you want to quote. The 90 day rule applies to UK resident citizens which is what you are. The 90 day starts from exiting UK to re-entering back through UK immigration. ANPR logs all vehicles and passports are electronically logged. Incidentally how much money anyone spends in another country is totally irrelevant (though more than ironic you choose to spend it in an EU country!).

I did ;-) ............She gave me 4 months worth of drugs :D ........ You ignored the bit in bold....however 3 month (as one lot) is the max allowed under NHS rules which both GP and Pharmacist know about. They can give 6 x one monthly prescriptions, but that's entirely different as you are drawing one months meds at a time. It's very restrictive as that method forces you to use the same pharmacy because the Pharmacist holds the master copy for all 6 months meaning you can't even go to any other pharmacy in UK.

Give up your flogging a dead horse *-) BJ is going to totally cock up, Brexit will be vetoed in Parliament and there will be a general election or another referendum, hopefully the latter when there will be a decision to remain. We can then put this sorry state of affairs behind us eliminating any further problems and unnecessary expense. A special thanks goes out to David Cameron for creating this spectacle and then walking away!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A special thanks goes out to David Cameron for creating this spectacle and then walking away!! Cameron was a fool and the referendum was a crazy idea from the outset brought about by settling a score with Farage which backfired. Nobody on either side (if honest!) had knowledge of the full facts where now, people are aware of much more. Possibly the craziest excuse i've read on forums were those who admitted they'd only voted Brexit as a protest vote with not a thought to the long term consequences. It was sold on the immigration myth ("swarms") to the xenophobes and racists, the £350m a week lie, and silly soundbites. Typically of course we quickly found out within hours of the results coming in, it was very clear Leave had zero exit strategy so walked away. Hislop summed it up in this short clip from QT at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
