Visa needed for the wife of a British citizen to live together in Spain [closed]

What visa would my wife need to live semi-permanently with me if we bought a property in Spain? She has been unable to get a job that matches the UK requirement of a job or threshold of 18K+. Will she be able to live in Spain indefinitely, if she remains a housewife?

Thank you.

Best Answer

Until Brexit, you can live and work in Spain and bring your immediate family with you. The only requirements are your citizenship and a genuine marriage.

Nobody knows how the Brexit will handle cases like yours if there is a treaty and not a hard Brexit.

UK citizens in Spain will be able to remain for a period of 3 months at a time, staying longer than this will require a visa.
