As a result of her experiences in aiding the expatriate community during the political campaigns, Myra became very involved in assisting and supporting the community who had little or no knowledge of the Spanish language and more importantly, the complex Spanish bureaucracy and the continual updating of the law and regulations. A demand for a more extensive service concluded with Myra setting up the Costa Advice Bureau in 2006.

During the following seven years, it became apparent that the expatriate community needed a place and persons to whom they could turn to for support. With this in mind, Myra commenced on a project to set up a group for the expatriate residents, non-residents and visitors alike, in need of advice, assistance, and accurate information. This and more, they can now find at the Citizens Advice Bureau Spain.

Myra said “ Of all the issues facing the expatriate community in Spain, the most significant has been the legal problems encountered. The need to find a suitable lawyer with expertise in the particular fields of service. This prompted me to set up the Lawyer Smart Card. This innovative idea will ensure that all expatriates either residing in Spain, with holiday homes or visiting can obtain a befitting legal  service and protection they require”.
