  • Practical information on moving to Lanzarote after Brexit. Anne and I moved to Lanzarote in 2021. We did our visas, our TIE, our 3/4 year renewal and our 4/5 year renewal ourselves, so I can talk from practical experience.
    Here's a link to my blog, which goes into more detail on making the move.

      @@ciscomoto Thanks for your comments, glad you found it useful. Yes normally they only accept marriage certificates that are less than 3 months old, although some managed to get away with their original certificate. So you would have to get a new certified copy from Florida and you would also have to get it legalised (apostille’d) by the US as only the country in which it was issued can do that. I’ve seen plenty of posts on Facebook groups from people who have done that so you should be able to find out exactly how to do it. The best fb site I’ve found for answers is After Brexit in Spain.

      Thanks for the comments. Yes we like the Yaiza wine - dry for us though. We came here and rented for a year while we looked for a property, although we knew what we wanted and where and we had been looking online beforehand. The problem now with doing that is long term lets are very hard to find on the island. if you already had a house here to move to it would probably be a big help, but it depends on your situation. I think that as the visa process is time critical, ie once you've got it you need to move within 3 months, having somewhere to go to, either rental or owned, will be one less worry.

Road tax, 16€ a year, council tax 420€ a year, light and heating 1000€ a year, no potholes in the roads to ruin my tyres, free bus travel, 75% discount on air fares and ferries, cheaper to eat out, no duty on alcohol, but overall a far better life.

      @@StOrMmaGiiKz Regarding house prices it depends where you are and what you want. In Playa Blanca a 2 bed 2 bath detached house with private pool will be in the region of 400k €. Something a bit smaller on a complex around 280k. Have a look at Idealista app or website and you’ll get a good idea. Around here they tend to go for around the asking price at the moment. If you are relying purely on savings to live on your nlv, you will need “sufficient funds’ for 5 years. After that they don’t require proof of that level of funds. So that means for a single person 28800€ x 5 and for a couple 36k x 5. That’s far more than you actually need to live on. We live very comfortably on less.
      Re your ACRO I wouldn’t worry too much. ACRO uses what they call the step down model. This means old convictions that were not serious will not be disclosed, instead they say ‘no live trace’. It all depends on the seriousness of the offence, how old you were, how long ago it was and what the sentence was. From what you say it seems unlikely it would be disclosed.

      @@HolaLanzarote2024 many thanks for your reply I’ve fallen in luv with Gran Canaria we go every year for a month but tbh anywhere in the canaries I’ll settle for within reason atm , prices have gone crazy since the pandemic and 600k doesn’t go far taking into account I have to buy somewhere to live firstly then live on savings until we pop our clogs
      On the acro it’s been a thorn in my side but we shall see as said it’s minor offence but still a offence no amount of regret or remorse or reform dose the uk recognise even for a petty silly offence which is unfair considering Spain only wants the last 5 years, a fine of £20 pounds 40 years ago no harden criminal peer pressure stupidity,actually laughable now something not even worthy of a magistrate now a days but can cost someone much far more in the future I’ve now found out
      I’ve looked into it and hopefully I might be lucky and they step it down but it’s out in my hands now and the Accro will determine my future
      Many thanks again and all the best to you sir
