Re: Return to UK and Indefinite Right to Remain

Many thanks, that was the clarification I wanted. I believe there is a different form for becoming a Permanent Resident again after having once been through the process.

Re: Brexit Britain vs Trump's America?

Before anyone leaves the UK for the USA, they need to understand just how much money they will have to spend on insurance. Health Insurance is just plain ridiculous. Last year, one third of my...

Re: Taxation for Retired Teachers
