Re: Moving back to England to go to University
Oh I didn't see you had written twice! Sorry for the second response! I did working holiday visas in New Zealand and Australia, I did go back to Canada for a bit to travel the country but not permanently, I traveled around South East Asia on tourist visas (if you're ever out there I highly recommend Malaysia! You can get a 3 month tourist visa at the border and it's amazing there!) and also did some of the USA and South America. In the past five years I did go back to the UK to save up for 11 months one year and went back for a wedding for 3 weeks a different year.
I've always considered the UK my home base and where I'd settle down. But I know the government could view it differently
So, yeah. They've all been either Working Holiday Visas (which are temporary) or Tourist Visas Hope that clarifies some!

Re: Moving back to England to go to University
The OP is a UK citizen and a UK resident who has been travelling on TEMPORARY visas. What’s the difference between him and skids who take a gap year travelling the world?

Re: Moving back to England to go to University
I'm not sure where this hostility is coming from. I just got an email saying that you had also posted "So you want a university to bend the rules and let taxpayers cover your costs ? "- maybe you edited that one to the one I see on this thread.
When I replied to your last message I said that going back into the care industry is my plan if a university assesses that I am now a international student. So I already answered that question. As to your other question which you either edited or deleted, I am not asking the "taxpayers" to cover my cost. Not that it is any of your business, but it is also my plan to work during my studies as I did during my undergrad. I will pay my own way as I always have, I'd just prefer not to pay 3x the amount when I could be considered a home student. I really don't know where you got that notion and frankly it's offensive.
In all honesty, I feel like no matter what I say, you've been determined to be offended by my words since my original post. If you read some of the other posts in this thread you would have seen that I have already apologised for not wording it properly and have tried to clear it up for the people that are genuinely trying to give me advice.
This whole interaction feels like you're projecting onto me and maybe I shouldn't be rising to the bait. But I just wanted to clarify my words and I hope you know, I'm not taking your hostility to heart. I don't know your story just like you don't know mine. I was just trying to get some advice from people that may have been in the same situation as me in the past.
I genuinely hope you have a great day and can move on from this post. Because I have now answered your first post twice and I've also gotten some awesome advice from other posters.

Re: Moving back to England to go to University
Ps. I love that you've been to Malaysia! I had some of the best food in my LIFE in Georgetown in Penang and still have tea from the Cameron Highlands! Malaysia was the country that I hold some of my most cherished travelling memories! I spent 6 weeks on the Perhentian Islands volunteering at a campground and I'd absolutely love to go back someday!
