Or, go straight back to the UK soon, then (as suggested) over to the Heathrow welfare centre for help, maybe a homeless shelter (day to day living), register with the job centre, take any job, or right down to the Iranian centre mentioned by another poster?

Will you be taking money back with you to the UK to cover a certain period or will you be penniless?

Will your family continue to support you financially?

Or is your original OP just about not having a 'place to go to' or 'accommodations' arranged?

To be honest its 3rd world over here..thats all they could have done for me is give me money for me to come bak as im coming bak in 2weeks im going to have like 500pound somthing like that

They cant do nothing for pictures and it wasent only for the alcoholi drinks i was with my girlfriend in her house when i get arrested and she was married which i dint even know and she didn't tell me.and that is against law beeing with a women in first place neva mind if she is married i mean they could have done worse but i paid all i had as i was doing business over here importing cars from dubai to iran and now from what happend to me im left with nothing. And i just want to come bak and get bak on my feet and work

The current UK government travel advice to UK nationals and dual UK/Iranian nationals is that there is a risk of arbitrary arrest. So 'they can't do nothing' strikes me as a little optimistic.

Personally, in his position, my main concern would be a) getting out of Iran safely and b) convincing the UK authorities that I hadn't been fighting for ISIS.

you know why my main concern is whether i will be given a council flat??im willing to settle anywhere even in a small room so i can get a job and move on from this i dont have any problem with getting out of iran right now

Re: Help on arrival homeless
 
On the basis the way I'm reading all your posts, landing in the UK as a British citizen, you'll have some money, no place to go, no friends, no one to assist you, your family & friends in Iran will not support you financially and have no job?

If that's a yes to all those points, then you will have difficulty in resettlement because there won't be any government welfare support, no council housing & your money will run out fast.

With £500, a visit to the Heathrow airport welfare centre, a bus ride to one of the homeless shelters (a bed & a meal £5/night), a few days mucking about (top up the mobile phone (PAYG), register with the job centre, maybe a visit to the Iranian Association, the citizens advice - on the internet any (one day at a time) paying job at minimum wage £7/hr till you get sorted, consider a rooming house type shared accommodations

Do that for a month or so, maybe 3 months till you are 'Habitual resident', then see what happens

Good luck with it all

the answer as previous is still NO for the reason that you will need to meet the Habitual residence test' & that is minimum 3 months living back in the UK & for you to immediately on arrival ASAP register with the local job centre

I'd imagine there'd be plenty of bar/ restaurant / cafe jobs in MCR on basic wGe. Have you done a Google search? I have family in MCR and they say plenty of work available if you're legal, have an NI number

Re: Help on arrival homeless
 
going the B&B & should the OP need gigs, booze, food, transportation, top up his phone, internet cafe, job searching - I reckon the £500 will be gone in a week

not2old Feb 12th 2017 9:06 pm

Re: Help on arrival homeless
 
Manchester B&B not less than £40/night x 7 nights + all the other expenses.... money will be gone fast.

Now a shelter in Manchester @ £5/night, scrounge some food & hand outs, the odd cigarette, few cans from Morrisons, the £500 could last 3 weeks or more

By now OP you must have it all figured out, know where you are going to when you get to Manchester, where to look for work ... is that right?
