I have lived in Tenerife for over 18 years and have had a Uk licence up until recently, then I decided as I am resident here I would change to a Spanish Licence simply because its like a credit card with my photo and fingerprint on it so can by used instead of a passport when using a credit/Debit card. but my husband lost his british licence a few years ago and applied for a new one, stating that he was resident in Spain, and he recieved a new British licence, no questions asked. as the law has changed here now if you are resident you can have a british licence stamped by the Spanish Traffic office but it is only valid for 5 years then you are supposed to replace it with a Spanish one if you are staying here, it is a very grey area because of the European Uniuon Laws, but I know of lot of British expats who prefer to kep the English Licence and have had no problem doing so. hope this helps, have ou gone on to the DVLC website, or residents abroad website, gives advice on all this sort of thing, m Laptop is broken and I canīt access the stuff on my hard drive otherwise I would have sent you the links, see if I can find them for you......xx
