My question is about my sister and her children who are dependents of a permanent resident in Spain. They moved to spain in2010 and got their resident cards for 3 years. Unfortunately they had to comw back after 3 months.now they wnt to go back to spain.their resident card is still valid until december.can they go back without any restrictions?someone has told that they have stayed outside spain for so long so they have lost their right to go back on their valid resident cards.My siater's husband is non- eu citizen and applied for citizenship this march.
