THE FALSE RUMOUR - Carta de Invitacion - Page 3

Not entirely politicians' fault. There was loads of  information available before Brexit was done, if people were prepared to look. I can only suppose many of them were so confident of the benefits of it they couldn't be bothered. 

I completely agree, although it’s hard to see why any Brit would not have imagination to see that Brexit would have a massive impact on travel, holiday homes and freedom of movement for them , just like it has for those from EU wanting to do those things in U.K. Leaving the EU meant exactly that, and along with it all the advantageous (and disadvantages) that would go with that. A massive self inflicted wound is an understatement. Yet I’m sure we all know holiday home owners who still voted for Brexit; what the hell were they thinking?? Well, you reap what you sow; but the problem is those of us who voted remain still have to ‘reap’ what the Brexiteers ‘sowed’ for us! So sad, for so many.

It's heartbreaking. Still, we'll have to make the best of it - if we can find any!!! 

 When will you angst ridden people get over what is now history!   Brexit was about the benefits to be gained by the UK and the MILLIONS of residents who live in their homeland.   It was never about the small percentage of Brits who chose to leave and live in the EU.

We're Spanish residents, accept the democratic outcome of the vote and wish our now indepent and democratic homeland and all its people every possible success.

Remember that millions also holiday and own homes in non-EU countries too.   They have had no problems with accepting that their decision has/will involve lots of rules; regs and red-tape in order for them to gain residency.

Lots of Brits, in the future, will feel exactly the same and chose to move to sunny Spain.  Simply accepting and negotiating their way around legal processes.

If you just accept what is - is,  and adapt to the current situation perhaps you can let go of your resentment/anger/sadness and do what we are doing - getting on happily with our wonderful lives.

That folks, is my very last posting on the pointless debate!

nice to see common sense Gerry T,  If Boris and his cohorts hadn't lied so blatantly Brexit may not have happened and we have to accept that as non EU members we can't keep EU preferential treatment and at the same time inter EU citizens at Heathrow

When I attempted to access  the links for the Ministry of Interior and the EU site both are advising not found?  As a British citizen and a property owner in Los Alcazares I am confused about what appropriate documents I would need to present on arival at Alicante Airport/Customs.  Obviously my British passport,  return air tickets and confirmation of having had both vaccines.  Should I also carry a bank statement, if so British or Spanish accounts, and how much of a balance would I need to have to satisfy the Customs Officers that my partner and I would not be a burden on the Spanish Treasury during our visit.

I'm bringing proof of ownership of my LA apartment, my NIE confirmation and a utilities invoice, just in case. I am also confused about what is required to prove I have sufficient funds for the visit. I strongly object to being asked to supply a bank account, UK or Spanish, to complete strangers. I would appreciate it someone can suggest an alternative, please. 

Relax. Its a fast moving reality. British citizens can come here on holidays, without bank details. 

When you get to Alicante, it will be anticlimactic, you will wander thru, without any interrogation, just a stamp in your passport, which allows 90 day tracking..

Like you, I have lived here many years, and like you have dealt with my bank account in the same way. When we opened our account we were told that it would be charges free if our state pensions were paid into the account. No problem, it was easy to arrange and I have never paid charges. As I worked in banking in the UK for much of my life and am a bank pensioner, I don’t pay charges in the UK either, but that is by the by😂😂😂

just as a matter of interest BBVA have a system that, if you always lodge 600 euros monthly and use their debit card a few  times a month your account is free of charges. I've used it for a long time with no probs
