What will be an issue, are the visa requirements for the country you are going to. Check the gov.uk website for details. Right now you can go to Spain for up to 90 days as a tourist, but staying longer than that would need a visa and that might be refused if you have a conviction. There are separate rules if you lived in Spain before Brexit as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you went out to Spain as a tourist and didn't return after 90 days, then the PPU would probably notify the Spanish authorities.&lt;a class="if-quote-goto quote-link" href="#" data-id="33257"&gt;&lt;span class="goto"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="quote-markup"&gt;[/quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you, appreciate the information.&lt;a class="if-quote-goto quote-link" href="#" data-id="33258"&gt;&lt;span class="goto"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="quote-markup"&gt;[/quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Agree with punter99 however a dream is always worth investigating because if it becomes a reality then it is far more satisfying; in this case anyway.</description><pubDate>Sat, 26 Nov 2022 16:41:11 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>JASB</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Can you live abroad with a S.O?</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost33258.aspx</link><description>&lt;div data-id="33257" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1669232730728"&gt;&lt;a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="33257" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;+&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="33257" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"&gt;&lt;a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="33257" title=" "&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[b]&lt;/span&gt;punter99 - 23 Nov 22 2:04 PM&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-33257"&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message-margin"&gt;&lt;div data-id="33256" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1669232730728"&gt;&lt;a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="33256" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;+&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="33256" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on"&gt;x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[quote]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"&gt;&lt;a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="33256" title=" "&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[b]&lt;/span&gt;JamesZ - 23 Nov 22 12:43 PM&lt;span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup"&gt;[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-33256"&gt;&lt;div class="if-quote-message-margin"&gt;Just curious.
