Travelling as a Resident
by marcliff » Thu Jan 21, 2021 5:57 pm
The Spanish government has issued advice on British residents in Spain who are being stopped at border controls when entering Spain.
Whilst iterating the advice that travel at the moment should only be carried out for essential purposes, they have given guidance if you get stopped at a border control.
You should always carry the document which affirms your residency in Spain along with your passport. The relevant documents are the A4 green registration certificate, the green registro card or the new TIE. All documents are valid to affirm your residency in Spain.
Registration Documents
Your passport should not be stamped at any border control in the Schengen area, including Spain, if you show your registration for residency document. If you have had your passport incorrectly stamped, this will be declared null and void and will not affect your residency in any way. Nor will it affect your right to register for residency if you can prove you were resident in Spain prior to 31st December 2020. Nor should you be questioned on length of stay, details of finances or medical cover.
They again stress the importance of travelling with both passport and the residency registration document.

What difference would stamping your passport make I wonder. It is only an ink stamp. A lot of the passport people stamp our kids passports to make them feel important when they present them to them.

Stamping the passports shows the date you arrived in the country and people are having the "Valid Until" bit completed which implies they are only allowed to stay in the country until a certain time. This does not apply to residents.
That's the bit that needs to be cancelled.

Not great if you are a frequent (twice a month) commuter. Will have to apply for a new passport a few times long before expiry when you run out of pages.

You should purchase a passport with extra pages at your next renewal
