We are receiving enquires from UK Nationals who were residing in Spain before the end of the transition period, and who are facing difficulties in applying or having their applications for a TIE residency card accepted.
Many are concerned that they will have overstayed on 1st of April when this unlikely to be the case. Rather than worry, contact us as many who believe that they do not have the right to apply for a TIE, after speaking with us are surprised that they actually meet the criteria.
Some UK nationals are being turned down due to the lack of documentation. In some cases they have sufficient documental evidence to prove that they meet the requirements in the agreement.
It is proving difficult to post publicly as some residents are taken it upon themselves not only to question CAB on the subject of citizens right but also criticising those who are still in the process or have resided here for some years without a registration certificate.
CAB Spain will advice and assist all those that need information and guidance about their individual citizens rights. All correspondence is in confidence. CAB Spain is regulated both the with the Spanish protection of data but also by the European GDPR. Furthermore all the volunteers sign a confidentiality agreement.
It is important to know that:
“Possession of a residence document is not a prerequisite for lawful residence in accordance with Union law because under Union law the right of residence is conferred directly on EU citizens by the Treaty and is not dependent upon having fulfilled administrative procedures.
If you need information, advice or assistance with your residency requirements, contact us privately or consider owning a Lawyer Smart Card. www.lawyersmartcard.eu
