....and of course, if anyone were daft enough to act on this "advice" and fall foul of the authorities, they could always say Stingychips on British Expats said it was fine, and that would set everything right.

it’s not advice.I’m not an official resident so I can still drive on my British licence.😄

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

You may not be resident but have you managed to abide by the 90 day rule?

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

Yes. Up to now 90 days is more than enough.

It seems you are way out of touch, do not keep up with the new requirements for brits or just stuck in the same ole.

Not just the islands, but other places are starting to look elsewhere in the 300+ million strong block for their seasonal workers.

Probably. However ibiza is pretty much geared up for British seasonal workers which then cater for the mass influx of British tourists. Maybe another country will take Spain’s place as number 1 Holiday destination. Who knows. I’m just sat on the fences waiting to see what unfolds these next few months with brexit politics and the economic devastation covid has caused.

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

I was thinking more of the other comment - about overstaying / working without the correct permissions, which you seem to think would go unpunished.

I certainly wouldn't advise putting that to the test.

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

Yep, we are creeping into cloud cuckoo land territory with this Brexit type trope.

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

Speaking English is not really a problem for seasonal workers from 31 countries and I'm not quite sure that the whole of Ibiza is going to obligingly up sticks and move somewhere else for Brits... and where would it move to? Gibraltar? :eek:

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

I would have thought that all those who had abandoned the Uk, would flock to the islands and mainland Spain as most had a reasonable level of English.
Round here (Albir) most of the restaurants are staffed by Dutch or Scandinavians and all the Spanish workers speak some English (I had a small conversation with a lad from Madrid who speaks six languages the other day)

The issue with seasonal workers is the same all over. They are usually exploited and paid low wages. Don't matter where they come from.

Re: Will Problem Changing UK Licence For Spanish Be Resolved?
 

Even the beggars speak English around here, combined with their art of persuasion I'm sure they would make very good reps if the need arose.

On the other points in the debate, Stingychips there is no requirement for you to change your UK license as a UK tourist.

As for overstaying the 90 days, don't even try it. We're not hearing reports yet as those who have done it are unlikey to have travelled during COVID. Although not Spain, a neighbour in Germany overstayed and was caught out when paying a speeding fine. He wasn't expelled but the fines and tax bill that followed made him wish he was. He hadn't done it intentionally, it was ignorance which is not a defense.
