Hello all, looking for the right area to move to, we'll be moving with 2 water-loving dogs so ideally, a place near streams or rivers or year round flowing water. We love inland countryside areas but also enjoy the coast. I previously lived in the south in the Andalusian coastal areas and am fluent in Spanish, albeit with an Andalusian accent..

We have currently been looking online at the Valencia regions especially the Jalon Valley area but are open to anywhere with easy access to nearby flowing water.

we will be buying a property so areas with rental problems won't be an issue.

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

kindest regards

Kevin

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.
