I have bought a Gibraltar registered car in the UK and plan to drive it from the UK to our new home in Marbella in December. I will then register the car in Spain immediately.

My problem is that I cannot find a Spanish insurer that will insure it on the Gibraltar plates pending Spanish registration.

I can't find a UK insurer that will insure it on Gibraltar plates, they need it registered as a UK car first (not economically or time viable).

I can't find a Gibraltar insurer that will insure it unless I have a registered Gibraltar address.

Hello Expat Arrivals community!

We are looking to move to Florida Summer 2022.

I have been offered a job in Nairobi and hope to relocate in January.

It is with a social enterprise so the salary is not high and my wife will need to work somehow to make ends meet.

Looking briefly at the immigration policy this seems hard to do. She is not a member of a prescribed profession and does not have a job offer.

Are there any suggestions/advice on how it can work, or do most people who relocate rely on a single income?

Hello,

I was accepted at a Czech University. I live in Argentina, but I have dual citizenship (Argentina/Spain). So technically I am a EU citizen, but have no European Healthcare, since I never lived in Spain. What kind of Health Insurance should I get once I get to Czech Republic? I assume the EU  is cheaper than the one for foreigners...is that correct?

Thanks!

Hello - 

I am flying to Spain next week, and will be living there permanently. I have not had my covid vaccination yet. As an expat, and non-EU national, how can I get a covid vaccination in Spain? Do I need to register with a doctor to get into the system? Do you know if the state pays it, or if I am charged? Is there some kind of registration system for getting vaccinated as a foreigner in Spain? Kind regards, Tom
