when you say register straight away is this for residence or car or licence?
the thing is we only have a 6 months rental, i just want to get out the UK the wife wants to see what its like then decide if want stay long term. we have a Uk company which we will be working for, how do we would stand proving we are not intending to stay when we might.
It just seems that if the car would be taken it would be unfair, we have a business to run and i wouldn't risk damaging this to spend the first month sorting Padron, Residency, NIE, getting spanish plates etc, we also have 2 months car insurance on policy for driving abroad, it all adds up to a great expence.
I am 46 so i will sort medical out straight away and the wife is a lot younger so doesn't need to i presume?
It seems to add to the stress levels expecting people to put the rest of there life on hold so we can sort out all this paperwork

I believe everyone needs a medical, it just depends on your age as to how often.
Yes, you'd be very unlucky and it would be unfair if you were stopped the first day. Keep your ferry receipts. You'd have a case that you were only here temporarily, but bear in mind it doesn't detract from the fact that you should matriculate it. Also, your residency, you are required by law to apply for it in 30 days after arrival.
Yes ..... I have to tell you that our first 6 months here was extremely stressful trying to sort out all the necessary whilst not speaking the language well ... but we did it, like most people do. Why dont you employ a gestoria to do it all for you. They are good value
