• What if the work is all British though? If I'm not working for a Spanish branch of my company do I still need a work visa? I'm effectively unemployed from Spanish side (though that might not look good for other reasons like tax etc).

    Doesn't matter. Next year I can fly to a meeting in (say) Madrid, but I can't then spend a few days working from my hotel. One is fine, the other would make me an illegal immigrant - not that a Spanish Border Force person would be hiding behind the breakfast buffet to catch me, but for longer term things you'd be in breach of for e.g. your health insurance.

    Interesting. The rules seem to be similar if coming to the UK.

    Other parts of the world, for example the US Visa Waiver program, seem less restrictive.

  • Of course we didn't need a visa waiver program with EU countries when we had FOM.

    So, one could yet be negotiated with the EU, but I won't hold my breath.
