Expats leaving in droves, in fear of new regulations..

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/expat-money/10046400/Expats-feeling-the-pain-in-Spain-should-think-twice-before-fleeing.html

Mr Oliver said there are reports that expats are “reluctantly leaving in their droves,” and returning to the UK – or at least considering doing so.

Except that (read the comments) not one example of an expat leaving the country because of the need to fill in the form, was found by the journalist.
Yes, there are (and always have been) reasons why expats return to the UK eg family issues, health, financial pressures, even homesickness or a dislike of Spain.

Seems more like branded content to me. One of the many paid for adverts dressed up as an article. Link to a financial advisor.

Yes it follows on from this article falsely implying British expats were being targeted when it’s nothing of the sort:

Yeah it’s not like its the filling in that’s the problem. When it comes to UK people leaving Spain it’s probably a combination of lots of different reasons.
