We are hoping to secure our Spanish Residencia under the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement as we were living in Spain last year. Our solicitor has applied online on our behalf and we are awaiting the outcome.

Has anyone else had recent experience of applying for Residencia in Murcia Region, how long did it take to get an initial response? how long did the whole process take? What were the key issues and problems?

Our new solicitor has advised us that we qualify under all the pre-Brexit criteria although some immigration offices particularly in Valencia Region are questioning applications made after 1st January 2021, even though the Withdrawal Agreement states applications can be made up to 31st March from those people living in Spain in 2020.

We tried to apply last year but couldn't get an appointment and our useless previous solicitor didn't tell us we could make the initial application online!

Any recent experience shared would be helpful.

Cheers,

Andy

We applied in August and our cards were ready for collection in December but we couldn't attend the appointment so made another to pick them up last month. Our appointments were in Cartegena. Make sure you have all pages of your passports photocopied.

We had our appointment at the trafico last month to exchange our driving licences.
