Arboleas Home Watch. Its is now over 2 years since any information was deemed important enough to send out to Members of the Arboleas Home Watch. Covid19 has contributed to this but not all. Crime in this area thankfully is very low which s good for us all. The Committee of Arboleas Home Watch have decided that it will close down as an official group. There is a small amount in the bank account. This gets reduced by 21 euros every 3 months by bank charges. It has been agreed that any balance at the bank will go to the Ayuntamiento Fund for people in need in our Town. Howwver, it is still intended to provide information to people in our Town via Arboleas Life facebook page, Arboleas Life Website and the Magazine. Plus as long as we can get sponsors, we will continue the Home Watch Website for information. All the signs around the streets will remain in place. We would like to especially thank all our Coordinators for their support over the years. Many of whom have said they will continue to pass information on for us to send out. Thank you also to our Members for their past support. Regards Alan Pearce President. On behalf of the Committee.

*Passport validity rules* As long as you are legally resident in Spain you do not need any extra months on your passport to enter or exit. However, if you are a UK resident visiting Spain (including second homeowners) you may need to check your passport validity before you travel. We recommend that on the day you travel you have at least 6 months left on your passport. This allows for: · travelling in Europe for up to 3 months · the requirement from most European countries to have at least 3 months left on your passport on the day after you leave Your passport must also be less than 10 years old on the day after you leave. If you renewed your current passport before the previous one expired, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. Any extra months on your passport over 10 years may not count towards the minimum period needed.
