Dear hughjardon Your lifestyle, much as you like it, doesn't revolve around a siesta. You can continue with your pattern whatever the Spanish working man is doing. Me? I'm for getting rid of the siesta especially since my German neighbours insist that all around keep silent for 2 hours everyday!

Thank-you. I don't have my old residencia card but am afraid it MIGHT have expired more than 4 years ago. Will look into other advice though.

I am 41 years old and moved here from England in 2003. I had my residencia card but let it lapse. In the meantime I have become unfit for work through ill health requiring regular attendance at hospital as an outpatient and monitoring bymy GP. When I tried to renew my residencia they wouldn't do so because I cannot support myself. I have lived with a pensioner lady as her partner for the last 3 years. I have applied 3 times for my Vida Laboral without success so far. I've asked the consultant and GP for certification to testify I am incapacitated and only been given an address in Alicante. Social Security wouldn't put me onto my partner's SIP card because she is a pensioner and was tiold to apply to the UK. She is afraid that living with a man will affect her pension (she is widowed) although i contribute zilch to the household. I actually have my own SIP card but think I need to be put under her wing, so to speak, in an attempt to prove that I don't need an income, that I am being looked after financially. Any thoughts on the matter?

You shouldn't have applied for a residencia because it is only for those who spend more than 183 days in Spain. To buy a car, you need only an NIE number and a current Padron, As a resident, you are obliged to register to pay taxes on your world wide income and the authorities are tightening up on those who have not being doing so.
