… or how to beat the 90-day Brexit rule and live in France for six months a year. Your editor is British, although I don’t live there at the moment. But, of all of the several places that I have lived, Britain is the place that I hold dearest. So, when Brexit happened (Brexit was the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union at 23:00 GMT on 31 January 2020,) it was a dark day for millions of people. The UK is the only sovereign country to have left the EU.
The UK had been a member state of the EU or its predecessor the European Communities, sometimes of both at the same time, since 1 January 1973. And, in the blink of a closed eye, a small margin of British people voted to leave the European Union and have been feeling the effects since. Pre-Brexit, Brits could spend as much time as they liked in all of the European countries. But, no more. Certainly one of the most stupid moves ever made by a group of people. Read more here.
Since then, Brits can still visit Europe, of course, but not as easily as before, and for only up to 90 days at a time. But, luckily there are ways (loopholes) that allow British people to stay (in this case France) past that threshold. There is now the Long Stay Visitor Visa, designed for non-working people, especially retirees. It can be renewed every year as long as you can continue to support yourself (with savings or pension income).
This is very good news for many. Read more here courtesy of Leggett estate agents.
