What shall I do after no deal Brexit about my residency?

The Spanish government has established a period of 21 months after the Brexit-date.

During this period, all the UK nationals living in Spain must exchange the Green Residency Card for the TIE (the TIE is the Residency ID card for non EU citizen members).

Can I continue living legally in Spain during the transitory period?

Yes, you can, but only if you were living in Spain before the Brexit-date, and before the end of transitory period you will need to apply for the TIE.

I do not hold a Green Residency Card, what shall I do?

The UK nationals that land in Spain after the Brexit-day will need to apply directly for the TIE.

The Spanish government has opened a new department for UK nationals that won’t hold a Green Residency Card after the Brexit-date called “tramite para la documentation de nacionales del Reino Unido“

I hold a Green Residency Card, what shall I do?

If you already hold a Green Residency Card, you will be able to exchange it for the TIE. It will be a very simple process.

Do the documents required have to be originals?

The documents must be originals, and any official documents required must be translated and legalised if necessary.

Do I have to provide proof of income?

Only if you do not hold a Green Residency Card.
