moving and uk to spanish driving licence
I applied for residence last October but as yet i have only received a recibo de presentacion en oficina de registro which was not accepted to travel from UK to Spain, I check every week and the update is Still Pending.
Although i haqve owned an holiday home for many years we are now going to spend in excess of 90 days hence applying.
My main problem is i have a valid UK driving licence and i am hoping to get back to Spain late June early July, I am in the middle of taking a motorbike test and hope to pass before coming out.
Does anyone know what the situation is for exchanging to a Spainish or keeping my UK licence if after the end of June.
I have been trying to get answers in the UK but all i keep getting is still in negotiation.
I cant believe that Spain would risk house sales and residents from UK by making driving licence issues, i have been told that they expect you to retake your test and this would have to include a minimum of 6 x lessons first, it as just cost nearly £1000 to get a bike licence and therefore if that is the case it would cost me more than that if this is the case.
Would really appreciate any help on this.
Many Thanks
