Thinking ahead post brexit.
Do you require to be full time resident to change your licence . If not would it be better to change to Spanish pre brexit to save any potential future problems. Just wondering.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

You have to be a resident.
Think about it, you have to hand in your UK licence to get a Spanish one. If you are a UK resident then you cannot drive in UK with the Spanish one. Remember, your licence in UK has to have your address on it.
You'd simply be moving the problem of having a foreign licence in Spain to having a foreign licence in UK.

Hi, new to this forum, I'm not here yet, but hopefully very soon, so doing as much fact finding as is possible.
Can I ask how long can you drive, if at all on a UK licence before you have to change to a Spanish one?
