British consulate open day

THE British Consulate is holding an open event in Alhaurin el Grande, Malaga, to offer advice on some of the issues that matter most to British people living in Spain. As well as learning more about the services offered by the Consulate, British residents will have the opportunity to find out about their pension and benefit rights and responsibilities.

Health matters will also be on the agenda with the team providing information on issues such as how to register for healthcare in Spain and where to apply for the European Health Insurance Card.

British Consul Steve Jones said: “We’re really keen to help British residents integrate into Spanish life, and get the most out of living in Spain. This is a chance to hear from the experts about your rights, and also your obligations, when living here.”

Those interested in attending can pre-book one-to-one appointments with the Pension, Benefit and Healthcare Team, and these will follow the main presentation.  A Property Advisor will also be attending and will be available to answer questions.

The event will take place on Wednesday June 15 at 3:30pm in the Casa de la Cultura, Calle San Sebastian 25, Alhaurin el Grande, Malaga. Customers are advised to allow plenty of time for parking, as the session will start promptly.  Doors will open at 3pm.
