[@kl5631]

Its only straightforward to get a Non Lucrative Visa if as a single person you have €29,000 passive unearned income per annum ( this figure goes up each year). Thats not savings that has to be evidenced regular income from a pension or dividends from stocks/shares or rental income etc. If you are a couple with 2 kids it is €43,000 per annum. Many people could comfortably afford to live on much less than this, especially in inland Spain but this level of required passive income means they cant get a visa. Thats why so many people opt for Portugal or other EU countries where the passive income criteria are set much lower.

[@Nico-rw1uo]

It's nor an issue of affordability, instead is an integration to the simple rule in Spain to everyone, even Spaniards. Do you have an insurance? No Are you a tax resident, No the answer is yes.

@@neilmahoney7458 I'm 63 and pay €750 a year for full PHI. I've had three experiences with the Spanish healthcare system. 1) A Spanish neighbour cut his hand badly pruning a tree and I drove him to the local hospital - I walked him into the A&E and left him to park my car, which I'd left blocking the entrance. By the time I returned he'd been x-rayed, and was being seen by a doctor. Absolutely first rate care. 2) Another Spanish neighbour had an inguinal hernia that needed fixing. I drove him down at 8am and he was still waiting at 3pm (bear in mind he wasn't allowed to eat or drink since midnight the previous evening) to be prepped for surgery - this was for an elective procedure that would take two hours from admission to post-op recovery with release being in under six hours assuming no problems. I'd had exactly the same surgery with the NHS in the UK a decade ago - I was in and out within four hours. The UK surgeon was doing nothing but inguinal hernias that day and as one was wheeled out the next was being wheeled in, the whole team was geared to rapid throughput of patients. On this one I'd say the Spanish NHS were woeful in comparison. 3) I had a recurrence of a back problem I'd suffered in the UK 15 years earlier. I had copies of my medical records and MRI scan that I took along for the first consult with a GP. She decided that I needed a specialist (2 week wait), the specialist took another week for his report to be ready which I had to collect in person, another few days before I could see my GP,.she decided that she wanted a sonogram (another two weeks but at least I could take my report home with me - and I got to visit a part of La Rosaleda Stadium I hadn't seen before!), then another week before I could see my GP - who agreed that it was a recurrence of the problem I'd had in the UK. What particularly blew my mind was that none of these people actually emailed anything to one another - I literally carried paperwork from one doctor to another, who would type into her records the details given by the specialist whilst I sat there before we started the consult proper. Don't get me wrong, everyone was extremely nice, and the healthcare itself very good but it just seemed grossly inefficient. I suspect it probably depends on where you are in Spain (the state system is administered at AC level rather than nationally) and what healthcare you need - my impression is that A&E is first rate, particularly in areas with lots of tourists (and I suspect most Brits use A&E more than anything else) whilst the rest of the Spanish health system is creaking a bit around the edges. Certainly local news reports (I live near Malaga) indicate problems in the system.

They were the ones that legged it to Spain and deregistered for UK tax and lived under the radar as "tourists" while working on the black economy. Did not register for Spanish tax and legged it back to blighty if they needed health care and used the UK health insurance card to pay for medical care.

Well, they had time to sort their status out - I guess some (probably the very ones who voted for Brexit) never got over their sense of British exceptionalism to even bother checking the new rules and their options before it was too late. But even for those who did, devaluation of the pound has made living in Spain from GBP based income a very different economic prospect. This is what happens when people allow themselves to be wound up by populists so much that they deny themselves freedoms as long as it denies others too. And I'm not even saying that their anger was wrong (nor am I saying it was entirely justified, that is a separate argument) - but Brexit was never going to be the solution to anything.

Hello there 😊. I’m Spanish living in UK for decades. It is very true that since Brexit things changed a lot regardless the Country (within geographical Europe) one could live in. However, some of the difficulties you have encountered such as applying for visas, private healthcare...you could have prevented. There was a limit time giving in all European Countries including UK for applying for Permanent Residence or straight away Citizenships. Just with permanent residence your healthcare would have been free and you wouldn’t have the need to apply for any visa. It is not just due to Brexit Spain has changed. As I said above, I am Spanish and found life in Spain has become a lot of more difficult. There are tax increasingly on the go to be paid for almost everything. But the worse problem these days in Spain are the super massive of millions ilegal invasions have suffered since Spain member in EU. These invasions have brought into Spain terrorism, criminals of all kinds, women rapist, thieves, murders, drug dealers rings, organised criminal organisations, gangs... even when Spain is my mother first Country I do not feel secure when I travel to Spain any longer.

The Euro was at 1.42 to the pound in the mid-2000s. Well before Brexit the rate dropped to 1.20s, in 2008 it hit 1.08.

[@paradiseworldvideos3859]

I bought before Brexit at 142 2015 Farage force Cameron to go with the Brexit vote that’s when the pound starting drop the day before the dreaded vote it Was 1:30 then the almighty vote came . It’s was out eu That’s when it crashed ! All the way down at one time 1:06

[@briwire138]

I remember before brexit, uk manufacturers complaining that pound was too high making our goods too expensive. Similarly foreign tourists were staying away as their currency didn't go dar.

[@patriciapalmer4873]

Think the euro is around 1,19 so better value for the English

[@johnwayneonacid1366]

The irony of the Expats (not foreigners in Spain btw 😂)voting for brexit and screwing themselves. Keystone cops look like Einstein.😅

If people are leaving Spain to come back to England their house prices have gone up so They could not buy what they sold when they moved to Spain. My friend is in spain you Can apply for residency,,

[@laurarojas8490]

But you must have been a resident before 2019 basically you must have an NIE. Just changing the driving licence from UK/Spanish was extremely challenging!

Unlike the young people coming to the UK these elderly people are a drain on the Spanish health service.

We are going through the process of obtaining Non Lucrative Visas. There are lots of forms to complete and they be translated into Spanish and then stamped by a registered Spanish authorised person. We are using an agent called Kelly in Benidorm. She takes care of everything. Visa cost at this time £520 per person. Hopefully not much longer to wait. Keith Norfolk

Yes healthcare tricky goes by age and cover also when applying for residency they like one that covers most things .good luck with your permit 🤞

Probably best to just go to Spain for about three month’s over winter spring time. Had some neighbours that moved there, couldn’t sell their house and became seriously ill. Was very hard for them to come back to UK.

The Spanish State pension is a lot higher than the UK pension. Why? The cost of living in Spain is less than the CoL in the UK.
