wassup

Looks a nice spot, I like having water nearby. Not much round here apart from the canal .

You never considered Cyprus property? It will appreciate faster than Spain IMO. Maybe a but hot in Jul/Aug but it’s a great lifestyle.

I can’t drive, so anything I can do to get the odd lift would be good

application to become swedish has gone through ok
will be dual national before xmas..

doing it for 2 reasons..brexit and moving to spain will be easier for me being part of the EU

better safe than sorry mate..only cost 150 quid and 20 minutes online..i'm just a permanant resident just now..to be a citzen means my furture here is water tight

ffs model citzen i am..never claimed a single penny since we landed.
paid a fortune in taxes..50k vat when we built this house alone.

only have to have been living here full time for 5 years to become a citzen. will ofc will keep my british passport..

u lot in the uk wont be able to travel freely soon..u moving to spain will be a big problem..my mum has moved back to blighty as many pensioners have..all worried about health care..me being part of the eu means us buying a house in spain will be childs play

It's parliament who get to vote on the deal (if there is one) not us. And if they don't like the deal and vote it down then all it means is we exit the EU on March 29th with no deal. Either way we leave the EU on that date.

Time will tell, but the politicians will do what’s right for them as individuals and for their party factions, rather than what is ethical or in Britain’s best interest. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Britain was still in the EU beyond March, whether that be due to pending referendum, extension or political upheaval and election.

At the present time there is no way that can happen, Article 50 makes no provision for an extension. You leave 2 years after you gave notice you were leaving and that's it.

The only way we will stay in is if we revoke our notice to leave between now and March 29th. There's no provision for that either but allegedly it is legally possible and if we did the EU would breathe a huge sigh of relief and wouldn't oppose it. Of course doing that would mean ignoring the result of the referendum - which would also be legal since the ref was not legally binding. There's no precedent for a UK government ignoring a referendum though since to do so would be blatantly anti-democratic. 

As far as British subjects living on the continent goes I doubt much will change so it isn't anything to worry about. There were a couple of million British living in Europe prior to Maastricht and Lisbon and the freedom of movement legislation (my uncle amongst them) and I don't recall there being any issues. You might have to pay for healthcare or return to the UK if you want free treatment but that's about it. 

But healthcare for brits living in spain is a huge problem as most are pensioners and on medication.
as it has been for years the spanish government pay for it and the uk pays em back

imagine living abroad having no healthcare and then get say a stroke..you'll be ruined...my mum has gone back the blighty after 15 years in spain for that reason.

It’s likely to be 3 months, as that’s the current rule without residency, Some countries like Cyprus don’t give a monkeys when you come and go but you’re on your own if you get sick and you won’t get any form of help if you run out of cash. If Britain had been like that towards anyone come here, we wouldn’t have had the Brexit referendum outcome IMO.

You can always pay for private medical insurance.

Even if they did introduce a 3 month rule which I doubt they are unlikely to enforce it. Plus a few countries already offer EU citizenship for cash or if you invest in property there. Malta for example. Although the EU are trying to stop it.

You’ll be wiping yer arsed on bank notes by the time you retire. State Pension in Sweden sounds incredible. The Uk should have a look at he welfare provision there. We’ve had to raise the retirement age to pay subsistence pension.

Swedes pay a lot more tax throughout their working lives to pay for those pensions though. There's no free lunch. 

Thanks but a round trip down to get down to yours for my free lunch will cost me £80
