Re: wanting to return after 59 years.
Is there still a. program where British citizens could return to spend the last few years of their lives back in their home land? I have been gone for 59yrs.though have visited and supported family for many of those years
.The only British passport I have is the original one I had in 1957 when I emigrated to Canada. I am almost 83 yrs. old and in good health. I have sufficient funds to take care of myself
What must I do to be able to return to UK and make this happen? I would appreciate any advice.

Well hello Madame Largo (H)! Take BiP's advice and renew your old UK passport before even visiting...it will just make everything simpler. If you follow the gov.uk link posted above you'll see it will only take around six weeks and costs only about £110.

common ground
I imagine that you & Largo may have lived within a mile or two of each other?
Byker primary school she mentioned somewhere
OP, good luck with doing whatever it is & likely your visit over will make it more clear for you.
Novo, what about you providing some assitance to Largo when she is over?

Re: wanting to return after 59 years.
And "southerner" means anyone south of the Tyne ( refer to Ross Noble) . Personally I come from Ponteland - once a proud Northumbrian village but almost a suburb of the Toon now.
But I digress - I am thinking of coming back to UK to retire after living in OZ since 1974. (Why you might ask..).
Anyway - how long do I have to be in UK to be classed as resident for pension purposes and does anyone know the conditions for that?
