Lately there has been much talk about changes in residencia applications in Spain, but what changes have taken place and who is eligible to apply from now on?
The law in question is “Orden PRE/1490/2012, 9th July”, that covers the rights of European Union members to circulate freely within member states and the conditions that must be met by those who wish to reside in another state for a period of more than 3 months. The law is more extensive but basically, supervision of residencia applications has been somewhat lax which in turn has proved to be a drain on the system, particularly on the resources of the National Health System as well as people benefiting from resident travel discounts without contributing to the Spanish economy.
After neglecting my blog somewhat, I found myself asking why. To put it simply, I have been run off my feet these past few weeks on other projects and client work, so even though writing was always in the back of my mind, I never managed to find the right moment to sit down and let my mind wonder so I guess now at 11:52 pm my time is a good a time as any.
Thousands of British tourists travel to Fuerteventura each year and what better way to explore the island than to rent a car to have the means to go where you please? Well, drivers beware you do not commit parking or speeding offences because it can catch up with you.
Every month more than 2,500 Brits are chased by European authorities upon returning from their holiday and private companies investigate an astonishing number of cases each day in an attempt to bring bad drivers to justice.
