hi I’ve been told I need to get an NIE? Open a bank account and deposit thousands of pounds not hundreds and get a gestor.... really confused now.
Only if and when you wish to become resident will you need to ……………. It really is not as difficult as you may think. If your son is resident(?), surely he is the best person to advise and assist you. |

yes I will thank you. Will my husband be able to come and live over there with me after the Brexit transition period? That’s the impression I’m under. Will I be able to use my UK phone over there? I’m with Vodafone. Thanks for your help

I would advise starting the process of exchanging your UK d/l for a Spanish one as soon as possible as well. |
Re: Things you need to do to move to Spain before transition period is over
You talk about finding work in Spain. What exactly did you have in mind? Do you need to work at some point or will your husband be able to support the both of you? Is your husband going to live in spain and work in uk or work and live in spain? These are the questions you should be asking yourself. Work is very difficult to find here even if you speak spanish. It is also different timetable. You often work longer hours( finishing at 8.00pm) and for only about a quarter of what you might earn in uk!!!. 26%of Spanish families now live below the bread line and 30% of graduates are unemployed. So bear this in mind. Also bear in mind that moving within Schengan area ( I think) will be restricted for UK citizens after Brexit ( Well we voted for no freedom of movement!!) so this might affect your husbands work situation.

please don’t take offence but you do come across very negative. I understand totally what your saying, but there are people living in poor conditions in the UK also. My attitude is life is short and you need to embrace it and be as positive as possible.

Re: Things you need to do to move to Spain before transition period is over
There is nothing wrong with being positive but it shouldnt be applied as a way dealing with reality. I feel that if you are focusing on questions such as will your uk phone work in spain you might be a long way to getting to grips with moving, living and working in spain.

No you cant just keep your account with your provider and become a spanish customer. If this is the kind of thing that stresses you Spain might be a little bit of a shock
