Hi Mitch

                My understanding is that Spain & other EU countries could allow non EU home owners a visa that allows them to spend more time in there holiday homes without an EU law change, the current 90 day rule only applies to EU Countries who have ...

...signed the Schengen Agreement so if a Spainish holiday home owner wanted to holiday in France for 14 days this would automatically reduce the time that they can spend in there Spanish holiday home, but they can visit a EU Country like Croatia as they are not currently a member of the Schengen Agreement without affecting there 90 days in Spain so there is scope for different rules within the EU community.

As for the UK rejoining the EU well that's not going to happen I agree lots of people didn't bother to vote in the referendum but as a demecratic country the Goverment must abide by that result, and before anybody asks we owned property in Spain before the referendum took place and we voted remain in that referendum.

We have no intention of selling our holiday home but I will continue to campaign for the 180 day rule as we pay our Spanish non residence tax on our Villa and contribute to the Spanish, Mazarron & Murcian area economy and would happily pay extra on our tax for a visa that allows us more time in Spain, bars and restaurants will survive but I'm convinced  that in the future the 90 day rule will have an impact on what countries people decide to buy holiday homes in future years.

Phil.

These are NOT new Eu rules, these rules go back many many years, they are the rules that non-Eu citizens wanting to spend time in the Schengen countries including Spain have had to follow. 90 days in, 90 days out etc. etc.

The British people voted to move out of the Eu and this is just one of consequences. ...

Sadly, I think you are tilting at windmills, if you believe you are going to get the entire Europe-wide Schengen rules changed on this.

I don't get it - I personally am not asking for any rules to be changed for us, just that we have parity. I have read with much interest that many UK residents would like to spend the winter in warmer climes This may well exceed 90 days - what is the harm? they are spending their money in spanish...

... supermarkets keeping the prices down, giving many cafes and restaurants their business. Without these snowbirds your  cost of living would rocket. Be grateful and hope that parity is allowed.
