“The 90 day rule should be abolished because it will have a big impact on holiday home owners...” | R.S.

Slowly but surely new regulations are coming into force in the post-Brexit era. The latest “chestnut” is that you have to get your passport stamped when you arrive and depart from Palma airport. This was to be expected really because of the new 90 day rule (nonresidents can now spend just 90 days on the island every six months) but it will still cause problems if more staff are not on duty at Palma airport in the immigration department.

I have arrived back home here in Mallorca twice since September. On each occasion I simply showed my new TIE card, with my passport handy if required of course, but was simply waved through with just a glance at the former. Inventing problems that don’t exist. Where’s the evidence to back up your claim that there is a campaign against the 90-day ruling? No-one I know has ever heard of such a thing.
Brexit was definitely a be careful what you wish for scenario that being said the people who own properties and pay there local taxes and have done for years should be exempt from the 90 day rule. ??
Does it not also mean that the Brits can't hide in either country. If they want to spend the time in Spain then there needs to be a way of sorting out a way of taxation that works. It needs to be paid to the country you live in the most or at least proportionately over the number of days live in each country. If you want to reside in Spain for most of the year then you abide by Spanish law if you reside in the UK the most you pay tax there.
"There was a general school of thought that Brexit would not really affect our lives in Spain." This is laughable and reflects the same thinking of people who voted to leave the EU.
Oh no, the extra 3 seconds it takes per passenger to stamp the passport will cause utter chaos. The 90 day rule is only annoying if you don't want to admit to living here most of the time, or can't be bothered with applying for residency. Doesn't affect tourists at all. Why would it affect your daily life??
