One of the biggest frustrations for many non-EU property owners in Spain is the well known 90 days in 180 rule.
You arrive in the Schengen zone, the clock starts ticking, and before you know it you’re packing your bags again just when you’ve started to relax.
There has been talk for quite some time about a more flexible system for property owners. Something that would allow longer stays without having to apply for visas or complicated residency routes.
It’s a subject that keeps coming up in conversations with clients, especially those who bought a place here years ago and simply want to spend more time enjoying it.
In Episode 2 of The Tenerife Pod, the discussion turns to the possibility of a flexible 180-day stay for property owners and what it could mean for people who own homes in Tenerife and the rest of Spain.
Is it realistic?
Is it being discussed politically?
And what would it actually mean in practice?
The episode looks at the current situation and the ideas that have been circulating about a more practical solution for non-EU homeowners who want to spend longer periods in Spain.
If you own a property here, or you’re thinking about buying one, it’s definitely a conversation worth listening to.
