Sailing in Spain for more than 90 days in 2019/2020

[Peter]

Similar post on CA forum, but going for max coverage to get an answer. Accepting the Brexit subject has been covered numerous time and still no clear way forward due to the idiots in charge. Just trying to get couple of of best options at this time regarding long term stay in spain on a crusing yacht for 2019/2020.

My currently impression is that we can stay 180 day in a calendar year as we stand now. Although cannot find any support for this comment

Post March with deal (when ever that is) as above until we leave EU in 2020, or later

No deal, 90 days in 180 days

To stay longer than 90 days no clear way forward. Apart from residence visa. Although does not seem to be the correct route, or easy if cruising, ie no fixed address.

Accept no clear answer exists at the moment, looking for any advice on how to stay in Spain for 6 to 8 months this year/next year legally. Or just hope Customs don'nt ask the question. Trying to get advice/answers now, to help plan this years cruising.

Hi Peter

My understanding of the current situation and post Brexit with a deal is free movement within the Schengen zone, no 180 day restriction per year, will remain for this year and next.

I’m sure that many others on here will have a better knowledge of the situation and admit that we have not looked at Spain specifically but I think Schengen is Schengen wherever it is.

Nothing of substance has changed, although an Article 50 extension now looks likely, subject to EU27 approving it. Length of extension equally uncertain: could expire this summer, or in 2020. "No deal" is still possible: it's the default position.

Peter: your question will be far easier to answer after EU27 meet in a mere week or so. Be patient.

Hope springs eternal.

In 14 days the UK will be:
1. out of the EU on a no-deal Brexit; or
2. In the transition phase of an agreed Brexit which will cover the period that concerns the OP; or
3. enjoying the continue uncertainty of an Article 50 extension of a duration yet unknown but probably known by then.

Each of those will bring different answers to the OP's questions.

Since there's not likely to be much someone in Cumbria (assuming he's at home) can do to mitigate the effects of any of them, he's probably best advised to wait and see.

It reminds me of a song on a demo from a band from Sheffield called The Happening Men, it was when Terry Waite was in captivity, the chorus went 'Meanwhile Terry Waites for just a little longer' happy days.

- good advice.
