The Withdrawal Agreement entered into force on 1 February 2020 and provides for an orderly departure of the UK from the EU. To this end, the Withdrawal Agreement foresees a transition or implementation period, which expires on 31 December 2020.
Both Brexit and the Withdrawal Agreement require to know which UK nationals live in Spain before the end of the transition period and which ones arrive after that date. So for those who live in Spain before 31 December 2020, they will have the rights of residence, free movement and social security recognized by the Withdrawal Agreement. While those who arrive after that date will have different rights, either those that recognize the future relationship between the EU and the United Kingdom, or, in its absence, those recognized by Spanish law.
The procedures may vary depending on the status and legal situation of each person, for example:
-If you are native of the United Kingdom living in Spain, you must have the residence certificate, this document will be a valid document to prove your legal situation in Spain, in this case you can proceed to request the TIE document (foreigner identity card), where it is established that you agree to the withdrawal agreement.
– If you have another nationality with relatives from the United Kingdom, resident in Spain, you must process the family card of a citizen of the European Union. This valid document will prove your legal situation in Spain. In this case you can proceed to request the TIE document (foreigner identity card), where it is established that you issue compliance with the withdrawal agreement.
– If you are from the United Kingdom coming to Spain within the transition period and you want to live here, you must request a registration certificate, in this case you can proceed to request the TIE document (foreigner identity card), stating that you issue compliance with the withdrawal agreement, and the same with your relatives.
– If you are from the United Kingdom and have Spanish nationality, you don’t need to do anything.
