>As someone who has lived in Alicante for a period of time
Among intangible benefits was your ability to live in Alicante for a period of time, without having to apply for a work/study visa or whatever other hoops someone non-EU would have had to jump through.
- dazc 9y agoYes, I could argue that the hoops to jump through aren't that great, but I will concede that I was able to move on a whim, and did. If I had to apply for visas, etc I may not have bothered.
- cr1895 9y ago>I could argue that the hoops to jump through aren't that great Yes, it might have been doable. But you must also remember that such an ability is a privilege, not a right- if you lost your job, quit school, or whatever granted you your hypothetical residence permit ceased to be a thing, you'd have to leave and uproot your life. As a UK citizen EU member, you had a right to live and work anywhere in the EU. Post-Brexit, not so much.
