Can a Spanish Permanent Resident Visit England?

Yes. Spanish permanent residents enjoy freedom of movement within the EU/EEA, but the UK has its own rules post-Brexit. For short visits (tourism, family, business up to 6 months):

Requirements

  • Valid Spanish residency card (TIE) must be carried at all times.
  • Valid passport (valid for at least 6 months beyond departure date).
  • No visa required for stays under 6 months.

Extended Stays & Work/Study

  • Stays over 6 months: Register with local police within 8 days of arrival.
  • Work or study: A specific UK visa is required (e.g., Skilled Worker, Student visa).

Rights in the UK

As a Spanish resident, you retain rights to live, work, and study in the UK under the Withdrawal Agreement, provided you meet eligibility criteria.
