The British Consulate is coming to Benidorm on 7th March to hold a special evening road show for British nationals who want to find out about consular services as well as information about pensions, benefits and healthcare.
The event is aimed at those who live and work in Benidorm, as well as those who go there regularly on holiday, or have come to retire there or in the surrounding towns. The British Vice Consul, Lloyd Milen, will attend from the Consulate to explain how to the Consulate can help if anything goes wrong whilst living in Spain or on holiday here. The pension, benefit and healthcare team will then give a presentation on how to access healthcare in Spain, when you can use your EHIC card, and also some general information on benefits and pensions entitlements in Spain.
The event is jointly organised by the Town Hall in Benidorm who have provided the venue for road show.
British Vice Consul Lloyd Milen said, “Benidorm is one of the most important tourist destinations for Brits in Spain, with approximately 1 million choosing to come here each year to spend their holidays. In addition, there are over 5,500 Brits on the padron who live or work here so I think it’s really important that they all have the chance to find out how we can help and what their entitlements are here in Spain. We’re specifically holding this event in the evening so that as many people as possible can attend”.
