Can Brits Still Move To Sotogrande?

1. Can Brits Still Move To Sotogrande? It may quite understandably seem to many of us as if Brexit - the shorthand term for the United Kingdom (UK)'s impending departure from the European Union (EU) - has been rumbling along forever. Now, however, it is finally set to happen. As long as the UK and European Parliaments give the formal green light to their previously agreed terms of departure - as is now very much expected to happen - Brexit will officially occur on 31st January. However, the situation is a little more complicated than that - as if Brexit hasn't been confusing enough so far - due to those terms of departure involving a transition period until 31st December of this year.

2. During that transition period, the UK's trading relationship with the EU will remain the same - effectively as if it was still a member. But what does all of this mean for those who are working with Estate Agents In Sotogrande due to an interest in moving to this part of Spain - and more specifically, can you still move to the country as a Briton? Thankfully, pragmatism seems to be winning out The short answer to this question is yes - Brits absolutely can still move to Sotogrande. However, they will need to be aware of the changing landscape at this tricky time of transition. The more than 300,000 Britons already officially registered in Spain can largely rest easy, thanks to the royal decree passed by the Spanish government last year, that protected their rights even in the event of a 'no-deal' Brexit - which has thankfully not come to pass, or at least, not yet. Going forward, if you are a Briton living in Spain, you will need to apply for a foreigner identity card before 31st December 2020, in order to prove your legal residency status.
