30 years in Spain
Hello everyone! I was born and raised in London and came to live in Galicia when I was 16. Had an extremely hard time adapting and spent most of the following 15 years suffering from depression and worse stuff I'm not going to get into right now. Why didn't I go back? Family and having fallen in love etc... I've always had a Spanish passport but, when I came to Spain I wanted to go for dual nationality but didn't because doing so I couldn't apply for any scholarships.
My question is whether it's still possible to acquire dual nationality or not. I've always managed to travel freely back to London but I'm now worried due to all this brexit business.
Thank you all very much for taking the time to read this.
