Help on leaving uk
Hi I'm planning on leaving the UK to move to Greece in a couple of months. I'm hoping I can get some help in who I need to inform on my move and if there's any guides out there on the best way to do this? Also from experience how long this may take? Thank you in advance.

Legally perhaps no one but I`d say HMRC for one , make sure you get the right forms.

Keep a bank account in the UK. Inform the bank of your new address. National insurance in Longbenton, Newcastle. You can keep your name on the voters' roll (for 10 years ?).

There's no legal requirement to tell anyone but it's a good idea to inform HMRC using Form P85 as you may be eligible for a tax refund.

NHS access is based on residency. Nothing at all to do with NI.

You're not seeing how it could work to the OP`s benefit ,assuming one is not retired and youve been absent from the UK for x years technically you are not automatically entitled to NHS care , get it?, also when you rock up in Spain and are not a retiree you will only get emergency medical care.

however as a British citizen you are eligible for free treatment from the moment you arrive in the UK even if you have never been to the UK providing you are intending to stay.

Moving to England from the EEA - Access to healthcare in England - NHS Choices I did see "If you are not ordinarily resident in the UK, you are considered to be an overseas visitor and may be charged for NHS hospital services." |

Thats what I said , but I cant see where being an expat Brit is always entitled to NHS secondary care regardless of time away.

No, it's the exact opposite of what you said.
They're not, but if they move back to the UK i.e. intend to stay, find a home, and live, in the UK, then they are entitled to NHS treatment just the same as anyone else who is resident in the UK. |
