Hope this may be helpful to you except as you’re not pensioners, the S1 doesn’t apply, you would need to get private medical insurance. Residencia only applies if you are going to spend more than 183 days in Spain and then you would be liable to pay tax here and declare all worldly assets. Th...

Hi, you cannot apply for residencia here in Menorca if your main resident is in the UK. You need to make an appointment with a solicitor asap  and sort out where you wish your permanent residence to be. I believe you have to make an appointment on line for the police station, but I’m sure ...

...a good solicitor will do that for you if you choose to become a permanent resident in Menorca.

If you was changing your passport to Spanish then it would be different but to have a residencia only means getting a cheaper flight ticket only to Spain .  I had a business here for 13 years . I was entitled to nothing . No unemployment or help to support my child. Not even medical. All tha...

that doesn't sound good or fair?!   we are not wanting to work here fortunately 

a couple of people on this forum have mentioned tax, do you think we will have to submit tax return if we have a non lucrative residence permit, even if we are not working here,

Hi Tim, thanks so much for replying to me and providing me so much detail,  and I think if we can stay up to 6 months a year here, that will be absolutely fine for us, at the moment.  Its purely the 'unknown' element of Brexit that is causing us concern, as no one knows how it will be a...

...fter December.  

So its just weighing up the merits of having this Residencia no lucrativa ( no rights to financial benefits, health care etc), as opposed to just continuing as we are now, we have our NIE and a bank a/c here, pay our local taxes on our apartment etc

We will apply for our 'Padron' at local town hall and continue to mull it over

its good to hear your thoughts,

appreciate it!

all best

The thing is after the end of December you will only be allowed to stay 90 days in 180 so you can’t do 6 months in one go.

Be sure you really do want to become ‘full tax paying residents’ and all that comes with it before going ahead.

As residents, you must declare all your world wide assets, shares, incomes etc and pay taxes on these in Spain. There are severe penalties if you don’t!

Also acknowledge that taxation starts at six thousand in Spain, not eleven thousand as in U.K.

Again, be sure it’s for you or you could be financially worse off as a resident in Spain...

Hi. Don't tell them anything. As there is no work in menorca not that there ever was anyway. I now work in England and then come to menorca but I don't live here all year round because they take your money and tell us to push off. The spannys will take what you give them because they have no prid...
