July will be our third anniversary of living in Spain. And that means it’s time again to renew our residency cards.
NOTE:
If you’re interested in learning (or re-learning) the history of our visas and residency cards, click away where indicated — and in order, if you’re like me. If you don’t want to spend your time clicking, then just enjoy the music at the end.
Some of you may remember the hoops we jumped through in California in 2011 to obtain our residency visas (click here and here and here). You may also remember the hoops we jumped through to obtain our one-year residency permits when we first arrived in Sevilla (click here and here). You may even remember the hoops we jumped through to renew our permits — for two more years — after our first year in Sevilla (click here). And then the additional hoops when we moved from Sevilla (in Sevilla Province) to Fuengirola (in Málaga Province) which required us to get new cards (click here). Oh, and how can I forget, my lost wallet and residency card a few months ago (click here and here).
This will be our first time at the Málaga Foreigner’s office. I’m hopeful. They actually answer their phone.
So, here we go…
