Hi all hope your all good, I need car insurance in spain and need to pay by instalments this year either qaurterly or monthly, does anyone know of a company that does this as I think with the crisis deepening here in Spain any company that did instalments for insurance would do very good business, third party only is cheapest but not an option I need fully comprehensive cover soon. thank alecB

from alecB

I have again been asked to renew my residencia today by the local social security worker in the council office where I live in Ibiza., I told her that I think the rules had changed in June 2007 and  residencia was abolished for EU citizens. I have lived here for the past 15 years with all the correct papers and had 3 residencia cards, I am in the system and have been all the time, I am registered at the council office for voteing etc and am currently unemployed and signing on in INEM and I have a new medical card which entitles me to all my needs. I have a new British passport and have had no problems in the past. When I visited the police national office they told me I had to have private medical insurance and still refer to residencia as a must.

As I understand things- I should be automaticaly a perminent resident as I have been here more than five years and I also think nothing needs to be renewed for me to stay and live here in Ibiza and as for private medical insurance thats a joke at 200 euros a month when I am unemployed.

So whats the bottom line in simple speak, my old residencia card expired in March of this year.

What do I need to do- anything or nothing and how do I get the message over if I need do nothing. Thanks

Thankyou so much for your comment, I think you are right but I need to be sure before I take on the policia nacional. Definatley NO ONE has ever asked me to renew my residencia in the past, I just did it because it had an expire date so one presumes it must need renewing after that date, also I had a call from the company I always use to insure my car and they tend to agree with you.

Surely there must be writen guidelines on this subject if it is the law, I wonder where to look to find this info in printable form,  it seems wrong that you can work and pay into the system for many years and then be confused by conflicting info that even the police may not be aware of.
