Or, post 31st Jan – What will be my boat and my status and what will it mean?
Understand that until the end of the Transition Period (TP), 31st Jan 2021 or later, everything will stay the same. The status quo but what does this really mean?
What about my boat's VAT/IVA status?
Believe that a boat's future VAT/IVA status will be determined by it's location on Brexit Day? Does this mean on the night of 31st January 2020 or when the TP is concluded? To this end, just to be safe, I intend to ask my marina for hard copy of my boat's location on 31st Jan 20 and the TP end day. For boats at anchor would Friday night in a marina be a good move?
Will HMRC still issue T2Ls after 31st Jan 2020?
What about residency?
Registered for residency, albeit as a citizen of the EU, we understand that our residency will continue, but what of Brits who arrive later? After 31st Jan 2020, they will no longer be EU citizens so will they still be able to register for residency?
Now to healthcare?
We understand that the UK EHIC will continue throughout the TP but in addition to the EHIC, Brits, with residency can register with their local Health Centre (Centro do Saude). Will this still be possible on 1 Feb 2020? Actually, so long as the UK EHIC works and you can just walk in to the Health Centre, I see little benefit in registering with the Heath Centre? Depending on your circumstances, your situation may be different. Those in Portugal may find How to Register at the Centro de Saude, useful.
Understand it is anticipated that the UK EHIC will be valid until TP day and possibly beyond but has anybody gone ahead and got an EHIC for their host country, to use in other EU countries, post TP day and who did you apply to - the Câmara/Junta?
Long Term British Visitors are nomadic but may wish to retain their status in the UK as ordinary residents so could applying to the UK for a S1 could open up a whole bag of worms?
Then there is social care and in-country benefits, incredibly complicated, vary markedly from country to country and depend on an individual's circumstances. Tried but really haven't got my head around this one.
I am sure there are numerous other issues that, post 31 Jan 20, could leap out and bite you in the bum and appreciate different countries (and even different officials in the same jurisdiction) may/will interpret their rules differently.
Thought - we live in interesting times.
