Hi

I’m British and my wife is Chinese we are hoping to move to Spain but are having some visa problems.

If we can get a Schengen Visa and enter the country can we convert to a long term residence permit

Suggest you research this:

VISAS INFORMATION

LEGAL STATUS OF NON-EU CITIZENS IN SPAIN

http://extranjeros.mtas.es/es/general/Folletos_informativos.html

R?gimen de ciudadanos Comunitarios en Espa?a

Download, Save, Open with Adobe, Read and Learn!

Thanks but the link doesn’t work

OK it appears that they have updated the web site try this:
