Quick response to — can you go to Spain after Brexit?

Yes, UK citizens can still visit Spain after Brexit, but there are certain travel requirements such as having a valid passport, travel insurance and potentially a visa depending on the length of stay.

Detailed answer to your question

According to the Brexit agreement, UK citizens can still travel to Spain and other EU countries without a visa for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, there are certain travel requirements that must be met. A valid passport with at least six months validity remaining, travel insurance, and proof of sufficient funds may be required upon entry into Spain.

Additionally, UK citizens will not be able to use the EU passport control lanes at Spanish airports, and instead will need to join the non-EU passport control queue. This may result in longer waiting times.

As for driving in Spain, UK drivers will need to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to their UK driving license. UK citizens may also experience changes in mobile phone roaming charges when travelling to Spain.

In terms of bringing goods into Spain, UK citizens should be aware that any alcohol and tobacco brought into Spain from the UK may be subject to taxes and duties.

Overall, it is still possible for UK citizens to visit Spain after Brexit, but it is important to be aware of the necessary travel requirements.

As famous travel writer Rick Steves once said, “With the right information, travel can be smarter, cheaper, and a lot more fun.”

The video discusses how Brexit has changed the rules for Brits wanting to move to Spain, including new visa requirements and job priority for Spanish and EU citizens. However, the host assures viewers that Spain is not out to get Brits, and provides resources such as YouTubeSpain.com and a partner directory to help those interested in moving. The hosts also joke around about their past videos and peace-loving hippie days.

Some more answers to your question

Do I need a visa to travel to Spain from the United Kingdom? No. As of 1 January 2021, UK nationals remain exempt from the requirement to have a visa when crossing the European Union’s external borders for short-term stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period).

Can I move to Spain from the UK after Brexit? Yes, of course. However, the UK is now classified as a ‘third country’ in EU regulations. This essentially means that, rather than going through a simple registration, Brits now need to apply for a visa. There are plenty of options, and each has its own application requirements.

For most people there will be very little difference after Brexit to visiting Spain for holiday. The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020, and if you intend to spend less than 90 days in Spain during any 180 day period all you will need is a valid passport as your travel document.

The answer is simple: yes. It is still possible to retire to Spain after Brexit, even though the path has now changed (things are not that simple now that Brits are subject to the same immigration rules as non-EU citizens).

So, yes you can move to Spain but you’ll need to be prepared to spend time getting paperwork together and to pay the expenses necessary to get a visa. Currently the quickest route is the golden visa that is a fast-track residency route if you buy a property for at least €500,000, without a mortgage.
