watching and waiting

Message from the Ambassador - October 2008

"...Whilst many leave the UK to settle in Spain, the UK is still a country where many foreign nationals want to settle. You may have seen in the news that on 25 November the first identity cards for people from countries outside the European Economic Area will be issued to people who apply to stay in the UK as a student (or applications based on marriage or partnership). These ID cards will replace the vignettes previously placed in passports. ID cards will then be rolled out until everyone living in the UK has one. I know that there’s a strong demand amongst many UK nationals living in Spain for an ID card so that we don’t always have to carry passports around as a form of identification. Keep looking at our website for more news on this."
