Have you looked into the implications of not being married, especially as regards inheritance tax?

Rosemary

Lynnxa said that your partner would not be covered.

I hadn't realized that you were not married.

It's now a lot more complicated - if you pay the Spanish SS I don't think that your partner would be covered.

If/when you all registered as resident, you and your partner would INDIVIDUALLY have to prove income/savings and health cover.


... it's so much messier when you have children and are not married.

chris76

so would she be covered if we're married then?

snikpoh

Yep

[QUOTE=Neptuno;11387462] No he doesn't. As I said, initially they can use EHIC card.

What is best for him, his partner and children in the longer term depends on .... well quite a lot of things .... which is why I suggested he reads the many threads on this forum about the subject.

OP would need to make provision for health care for his partner if they are not married / civil partnership and the kids if they are not his?
Those are the rules. You will get on a lot better if learn to accept England is different from the EU and not the other way round. The only way around it is called tax evasion.
yes
No you don't

What is the NIC card? If you mean EHIC, that won't do.being only valid for emergency care on holiday, and only valid for 3 months.

lynnxa

if it means the EHIC, then they can use it initially, until they become resident

so for a max of 3 months - since after that time Spain considers them to be resident, whether they register or not

although there is anecdotal evidence that some extranjerías accept the EHIC as proof of healthcare when registering, they shouldn't, & of course once you're registered you can't use it any more anyway, leaving you with no healthcare provision

chris76

Iv accepted the fact that if we come over then i need to look upon the 25oE is the cost.

But it would be great if i can delay registering as autonomo for as long as poss just to give us a few months to decide if our new life will work.

Like i say i dont mind if my partner and i dont innitially have healthcare or were covered for 3 months on a tourist basis but the kids would need it as well as schooling.

lynnxa

for your children to start school, you will all need to be on the padrón - by registering on the padrón, you are declaring yourself 'resident', even if you aren't actually registered with the National Police -that you have to do within 3 months

some schools/regions will also insist upon resident registration certificates before they will admit your children to school

snikpoh

Why, when I've told you that there is a new scheme where you only need to pay 50€ per month initially??????

As well as the padron for schooling your children, they will also need a health check by their doctor.

mikelincs

You would have to prove that you had healthcare costs covered, and that you had a certain amount of money coming in in order to register. €250 is the cost for autonomo, but this would NOT cover your partner unless you were married, it would cover the children, assuming you were the father. You would have to be on the padron for the kids to get schooling, and AFAIK, that would also mean getting residencia.

Sorry I meant The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Initially that is perfectly acceptable and is what most Brits would use before they become resident.

If you want kids to attend Spanish school you will have to be resident and then obviously you can't claim to be tourists and use EHIC card for health care.

You may find this link gives the information you require.

chris76

Sorry yeah,that sounds reasonable.

So presumoing we got married (any beurocracy to stop us from doing it in spain)

my autonomo would cover cover all of us and apart from me would get free prescriptions? is that right?

Rosemary

If you decide to get married it is best to do it in the UK before coming here as this is another area that is difficult as you will see if you do a search.
