You’re welcome

Where is this information from?

This is quite a common question so I should do a video about it. In the meantime I’ll ask Chris to explain a week on Saturday. The answer is basically yes, but he’ll explain how.

Thanks for the numbers, it reinforces the point I made in the video.

Can't wait!

Yes, the non-EU spouse is allowed to travel with the EU passport holder, best document to have is a copy of the marriage certificate in case they’re asked.

I’m afraid not. Sorry

Lol. Still Alive!

Yeah, I checked the official ETIAS website and a few other reliable sources first.

Yeah, and that’s a whole other set of problems to deal with that are still being negotiated

@@youtoospain for sure. English guy, living in Spain, working in Gibraltar.

will canadians need a british or spanish visa for gilbraltar?

@@clement2780 Gibraltar is British. So I assume a British visa.

@@clement2780 I believe there’s a specific Gibraltar visa that you apply for through the Civil Status and Registration Office in Gibraltar rather than a British consulate. There’s an email address for their immigration office on the following government website www.gibraltar.gov.gi/civil-status-registration-office

I am! Thanks for asking

Glad to have you on board

Hi, I’m not convinced about Ivermectin and it’s effect on cancer, or that it’s harmless. I’m also dubious that a retired nurse is calling himself Doctor on KZbin as if he has a medical doctorate.

@@youtoospain It may be a conspiracy theory but I would personally give it a bash if I was diagnosed. Such a shame there is no money in it and therefore not worth anyone doing any real trials. It is the same with all these old medicines! Good luck

I’ve only tried them in cities the size of Malaga in Spain, but I’ve driven in London and that can be mayhem.

It depends on when you sell and when you move. You become liable for tax in Spain when you spend more than 183 days here in the tax year (which is the same as the calendar year, Jan 1st-Dec 31st). So if you sell (i.e. get the money for) your house in 2024 and become resident in Spain in early 2025, you’re not liable for tax on that money you got in 2024. Let’s say you sold your house early in 2025 instead. To avoid being liable for Spanish tax that year you’d need to move in the second half of the year (after July 4th, as long as you’ve not been here on holiday here in the first half, because those days would count towards the 183). However, as you’re buying a house in Spain as your main residence, that will reduce or cancel out the CGT when you eventually do your tax return for 2025. I hope that all makes sense. I’m not a tax expert so you’d need to check your circumstances with a qualified accountant Gestor.

@@youtoospain many thanks for that Skatz

I thought that was 666 not EES. Of course, in fairytales anything can happen.

Oh I do love it when I get told to wake up, it’s the best way to convince me that a conspiracy theory is true. Sadly though I was already woked up.

❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️

Do you want to be there permanently?

You voted for Brexit? 😊

Where will you go?

@@youtoospain I’m in Brazil till Xmas, I don’t get this EU elitism, most countries are not in the EU, there are many better places to live, here I only need a 200,000 property investment to get a resident visa, Mexico is even easier.

@@Kirk-e7h each to their own, it would cost me and my relatives and friends too much to travel to and from Mexico or South America to visit each other, and we’re very happy in Spain. There’s nothing elitist about that

@@youtoospain I was not referring to you but some crazy people in the comments, I will keep my Villa in Spain but I like Brazil as in Quesada I feel I’m still in the uk.

@@Kirk-e7h Yes! .. see? Brazil is much better, much safer than EU, do go... have fun!

I’m not totally surprised. I’ll make a video update

😀😀😀😀😀

I also think that it SHOULD be difficult to move to a new country. You shouldn't just be able to drift about as you like. Get in the queue, wait your turn and pay your way.

Quite right.

I am Spanish, my husband showed me one of your videos last week to persuade me not to buy a new build here in the UK. You're going to be very disappointed with the plumbing in Spain. More often than not we cannot even flush our toilets with toilet roll

From January there will only be three visas, holiday visas. short stay long stay. This will apply to the entire EU. Work visas are only issued if you can prove that you indeed have work. the Digital Nomad Visa is being phased out completely. because it is abused too much, especially by the British

@@aukebij3193 where on earth do you get your information from? You’re going to have to provide proof of your sources if you make claims like that.

Sorry I can’t understand that

He is. It doesn’t make what he says wrong. Nor does it make it possible.

@@youtoospain It's soundbite stuff mate. Macron's the same. It's inflated pub talk and nothing more.

Same as they are now I expect. Passports and residency cards have biometric info on them and get scanned by passport control.

Congratulations! Now you’re part of the EU family, welcome! It is a palaver yes but well worth it. Personally I’d like to see the notary strung up for charging so much though. That same service in Spain would cost less than €20. It takes only minutes.

@@youtoospain Yes, an hour after I posted it, I realised that I should have spelt the word "palava" as palaver and was going to change it today. You beat me to it. Thank you for welcoming me back to the EU family. The UK should never have left.

It depends, each case is different. Sorry I can’t give a better answer, you should contact immigration for an answer.

Can you explain what you mean please? Bear in mind I made this video a while ago so I don’t remember every phrase I used. Thanks.

@@youtoospain Sure. I would be seeking cover under Convenio Especial as a non-working US citizen living in Spain for over a year. Technically, I could buy private insurance to cover me in the US or Spain, but that is cost prohibitive. So, does that fail me for eligibility criteria #5 (at 6:07) that you state as "Proof you can;t get healthcare from another country"?

If you call yourself 38frog49eyes you don’t have the right to ask me to stop being silly. Try watching the live shows instead, or read the blogs on the website, you might find them more to your taste.

Hi Thomas, sorry, I lost contact with Zak when he broke ties with YouTooSpain. And since then I’ve not been happy affiliating with any other companies, in spite of being open to offers.

@@youtoospain Oh, I didn't realise that Skatz but thank you my friend, hope you are well

@@BobbySal-e7v you’re welcome, I’m feeling pretty good thanks.

Are you sure about that?

Nope it doesn't.

Any chance you can supply official proof of that from a government website? Because that sounds illegal to me. Unless they work for MI6.

That second passport is meant for legitimate purposes, and circumventing immigration rules related to maximum stays in a country is not one of them. That second passport is not meant to allow 90 days on each passport, just read the link that you posted. It's meant to avoid disruptions in your legitimate border crossings when it comes to renewing your passport, so they give you a second one that overlaps a certain time with the previous one. For two passports that have the same or very similar validity, those are meant for traveling to countries where you don't want them to see stamps from other countries you have visited, like Israel when entering certain Arab countries. Additionally the need for a second passport, no matter which type, is decided on a case by case basis.

Sure thing, there are a few live shows, here’s one about tax, check 07:35 for tax residency. kzbin.infoWVNBRvvOsDM?si=U7kl2bAo5Kggbisq and it’s best if I give you the following official link to EUresidency www.uma.es/media/tinyimages/file/regimen-comunitarios-eng.pdf

Lol. No, just the facts this week. The Colonel is on holiday in Benidorm at a hotel called The Fattened Swan.

@@youtoospain lol

Thanks Patrick, #fof (tiny Freddie)!

Not for much longer. EES is on the way.

@@youtoospain But EES won't apply to EU citizens only third country citizens so EU citizens will still be able to carry on regardless.

@@Mike_Ripper yeah, I was referring to the last half of what you said, which was about UK citizens. EU citizens that don’t intend to reside in Spain can get away with staying longer than 3 months but have to be careful to not be caught staying too much longer. They’re not policed as much because they’re protected by EU law and as long as they’re not taking the p*ss they’re unlikely to be bothered.

not even that many. Most workers just want an easy life. So long as it's not totally obvious that you've overstayed and you're not on their "most wanted" list they'll let you through . . . unless they're having a really bad day. On my last entry and exit stamps the date was totally illegible. Didn't bother anyone . . . Yet!

Good luck when the EES system enters into force and life will become much harder for the law dodging English who think the rules don't apply to them

Exacto .​@@Esemptius

Not once EES is up and running

@@Esemptius Only the English?? :-)

There is no "visa" required. You need a visa waiver application when you present yourself at a Schengen border for entering

It’ll be available in May 2025 allegedly, and not before. If you’re already in Spain when it begins you won’t apply for it until you next enter.

@@youtoospain thank you!!!

My wife is Spanish and I too have studied this but for every example you can find of being allowed to travel with EU partners, etc there is another equally authoritative example of not being allowed to. I read recently of a scientist who was refused entry into the Netherlands for a conference because she was not travelling with her Irish husband. Eventually she had to fly back to Ireland without attending the conference. Later "The EU" confirmed that the border control was incorrect in one way because she had the right to travel with (or without her husband) but that they were still complying with the spirit of the agreement/law because they didn't stop him from travelling (even though he wasn't travelling and didn't want to travel). I know of people, who travel a lot for work, that have 2 passports. One in, one out. Others who sign on to crew agreements of fictitious ships & others who just ignore it completely and blithely come in and out as they please. The list goes on. I'm firmly in the Skatz camp. For what it costs to comply with the spirit of the law I'd rather comply than not. A few weeks away from the wife is not such a bad thing :-) Good luck!

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. First of all, there’s no absolute answer to some questions about passport control, I’ve heard reports of people getting different responses from adjacent booths at airports or at different times of day. But I’ll answer as best I can. 1/ best document to carry is a marriage certificate. That should work anywhere, although Spain has this thing about marriage certificates needing to be recent copies (certainly at residency appointments anyway, not sure if that’s the case at airports); I would head together through the EU gate, with the EU passport holder going first, but the non-EU Passport holder may get sent back through the other queue, you just take your chance there; with EES coming in very soon I wouldn’t worry about passport stamps, once that’s up and running there won’t be any more stamping. 2/ nothing exempts anyone from the 90 day residency rule, although many EU citizens have been known to stay for a bit longer. It’s not ‘calculated in the same way as the 90/180 Schengen rule’ though, it’s unrelated. 3/ it’s important to know that the EU residency card isn’t applied for in the same way as residency for non-EU citizens, the process is called registering residency, because you already have the right to reside in the EU. Registering then does imply you want to live there for more than just a few months rather than travel around. So if you don’t intend to do that then don’t go for residency. And avoid spending more than 183 days in one country per calendar year. It would help to know why you ask the question and what you are hoping to do, then I could help more.

You’re in the right place for info about that. We’ve covered it with Chris from Upsticks a few times on the live show. Here’s the video of one of them. Ask any questions in the comments and we’ll get you the answers. kzbin.info4tAwi8YEM5g?si=BKSR9yw7Z2Qi2KGu

Your official proof of address is the up to date Padron certificate so as long as that is your correct address that’s fine.

@@youtoospain thanks, you answer my questions faster than my mum.
