I was also told that I had to go to the Consul to get the "baja" (of UK residency), at which point I decided to leave the process for a few months - until I can find more reasons to take a trip to Alicante. I have to say that the need for this additional paperwork surprised me as I don't know what else it would be needed for. I figure one could just wait until one has proof of residency (assuming car is UK legal until then, which mine will be).

If you bring a car across your car can stay here all the time but if do not have Residencia you can only stay 6 Months.
If you use a Gestor you do not do much you need to give a Fingerprint but apart from that, your Gestor does everything you, they will arrange for the First Test at ITV Centre.
Hope this helps you

Another warm one 36 TodayAs an EU citizen, "Residencia" is automatic once you arrive with the intention of staying. I have been here around 4 months and the banks, my employer, social security and hacienda all consider me resident. Not actually needed a tarjeta de residencia yet. NIE and passport seem to be fine for everything, so far.

This is a funny area as far as I know. As an EU national, it is no longer necessary to apply for Residencia. ( http://www.andalucia.com/living/residency.htm )
"According to the ROYAL DECREE 178/2003 14/02/03 as published in the B.O.E. No 46 of 22/02/03"
I printed that out, in Spanish, from the government website as it's one of those things that, as it only came into law in 2003, many people will argue with you about. If you are retired, you still need to apply, however, if you are self employed or employed, you don't - according to this new decree.
Don't confused Residencia with the NIE though. Two seperate things entirely.
