A British expat living in Spain has spoken out about the harsh new regulations affecting foreign residents, describing the situation as a 'complete nightmare'.
The woman, who moved to Spain years ago, claims that recent changes in bureaucratic requirements have made life increasingly difficult for expats. She warns others considering the move to be fully aware of the challenges ahead.
'Unbearable' Paperwork and Restrictions
According to her, the new rules demand extensive documentation, including proof of income, health insurance, and even language proficiency tests – all of which must be renewed frequently.
'It’s no longer the relaxed lifestyle we were promised,' she said. 'Every few months, there’s another form to fill, another fee to pay. It’s exhausting.'
Is the Dream of Spanish Living Over?
Many British expats moved to Spain seeking sunshine, affordability, and a slower pace of life. However, with tightening regulations and rising costs, some are questioning whether the dream is still achievable.
The expat urged others to research thoroughly before making the move, as the reality may not match expectations.
