WHAT RIGHTS WILL WE HAVE IN DIFFERENT BREXIT SCENARIOS?

Below see an analysis of the status of rights of UK residents in Spain in different Brexit scenarios: now as EU citizens (Brexit does not take place), under the Withdrawal Agreement (May's deal), under the Spanish Brexit contingency plans (Royal Decree 5/2019) and under the scenario that this protection is removed because of a lack of reciprocity from the UK. We have also added a column about the UK government's position, particularly related to issues within their unilateral grant such as the situation of returnees to Britain. 

This is a working document and is aimed to help people know what situation they might find themselves in and what specific rights they might keep or lose. Please write to us at eurocitizens2016@gmail.com if you have any comments or queries. However, remember that we are not lawyers and cannot give advice about individual situations - what we are trying to do is provide up-to-date and accurate information at a time of considerable confusion.
