Brexit – In or Out

There is a lot of scaremongering going on at the moment and even more unanswered questions on how a Brexit will affect expatriates in Europe, of which some 800,000 currently live in Spain. Be it in relation to healthcare entitlements, pensions, employment or the basic question of whether expatriates still have the automatic right to live within the EU. I am sure over the next few months this will become clearer to all.

Is in or out the right way to go? Like everything in life, everyone has their own opinions and only time will tell if the final decision was ultimately the right one. If you want your voice heard and your opinion to matter, and have lived outside the UK for less than 15 years, then you need to register to vote at https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

Number of British expats in Spain has doubled over the past decade

Spanish BeachNew figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have shown that the number of British expats living in Spain vastly outnumbers Spaniards living in the UK. What’s more, the number of Britons over 65 years old living in Spain has more than doubled in the past decade.
