Spain’s 90-day Rule for Brits being scrapped?
"Exciting News for Britons: Spain Considers Scrapping 90-Day Cap!
In a major win for the UK, Spain has already waved goodbye to post-Brexit visa requirements for British performers. Now, there’s even more good news on the horizon: the possibility of scrapping the 90-day limit for all UK citizens visiting Spain.
For business owners and second homeowners in the Balearics and Spain, this could be a game-changer, simplifying life and potentially attracting new buyers and investors.
This winter, a whopping 3.5 million Britons are set to flock to Spain, solidifying the UK’s position as the country’s top tourist market. And now, according to Euronews, Spain is gearing up to challenge the EU’s rule that restricts British tourists to 90-day visits.
Spain is pushing to do away with the 90-day cap for UK visitors, potentially allowing them to stay indefinitely. While non-EU visitors are typically limited to 90 days in every 180-day period, Spain is set to make a persuasive case to EU authorities for a special arrangement for British holidaymakers.
Spanish government sources argue that this restriction is counterproductive to Spain’s interests. They emphasize that this rule wasn’t set by Spain, and they’re determined to find a solution through lobbying and collaboration with the EU.
The current Schengen Area rules dictate that third-country citizens, including non-EU citizens, can stay for a maximum of 90 days within every 180-day period. Those who exceed this limit, whether intentionally or unintentionally, may face penalties such as deportation and entry bans. This new post-Brexit landscape is proving to be a headache for countless Britons who own properties across Spain and its Islands.
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development that could revolutionize travel for UK citizens in Spain!
