Dear johnzx

After having had further business dealings with the Comisaria de Policía on behalf of the Ayuntamiento I have been informed that the new regulations will affect any new applications, existing EU Member State people who have been registered previously (have the green sheet) will just have to renew every 5 years from the date shown at the bottom without the added documentation.

If you read  the "Directiva 2004/38 Del Parlamento Europeo" it states that a "residente comunitario de cáracter permanente" has the right to reside in a member state for 5 years.  

All that said, the information is somewhat cloudy and until it is put into force I´ve decided to wait and see what happens when the changes are made.

Hi

Try the Ministerio del Interior website and follow extranjeria, there you will find various information regarding the new guidelines

Not as straight forward as I originally thought. I´ll be going back to see the Police this week with a list of questions ect.. It was them that told me that there were to be significant changes.

They aren´t making it easy for us are they? I only gave 2 examples on my original message, there were too many to write down, have a look on the Spanish Government website for more detailed information.

Yes, I would go sooner rather than later, even if you still have 2 or 3 years left on your existing certificate, just say that you´ve lost it and need to renew. Please remember if you go to Torre del Mar Police Station to be there early, they give out the first 40 tickets then won´t accept anyone else. Even if they have only given out 10 tickets, they won´t  assist anyone that arrives after 10am.
