Hello,
I understand your concerns. I am someone who naturalised in the UK in 2008 as a US citizen that moved to the UK. Then, I moved back to the USA in 2016 and regretted it. What I missed about...

Re: Living in England as a non-resident

Very interesting. I've read about buying property in France and Portugal as an alternative and, at least on the surface (which means little), they seem to have a straight up 180-day rule without all...

Re: Living in England as a non-resident

This is a really helpful flowchart. So, I read that I would need to spend less than 120 days per year in the UK after the first year (where I could spend up to 180) in order to consistently be...

Re: Living in England as a non-resident

Hello, I have been looking into this as well. I am a US/UK citizen and am a professor in the US. As I miss Edinburgh so much, I am thinking of buying a property there and staying during winter and...

Re: Taking my US job with me - Tax Question

Hi Aly,

I've met a few remote workers on my travels who are working their remote jobs in the US whilst living in other countries. They do so without telling their employer and just hope they don't...

Re: Winter in the South of France

I've been in Nice since 25 April and the weather has been lovely! Although I am taking French classes whilst here, just about everyone speaks English at restaurants, etc. and I often have to insist...

Re: Has anyone moved their dog or cat from the US to the UK without an agent?

Hi,
I thought about this question as I have considered spending my academic breaks in the UK (winter and summer). I've looked at flying the cat in cabin to Dublin and then taking a ferry across to...

Re: Long stay visa

Sorry - yes, I could have worded that better. What I meant to say is 'with you' - as in they have to formally sponsor you on the application.

Re: Long stay visa

You could enroll for a year at a French school and they could apply for a student visa for you. I am studying at one this summer (not for a year) and I know they do these visas for people who want to...

Re: Underwhelmed & homesick in Canada

Hi there,

Your post actually reminds me of the first time I moved to the UK. I lived in Berkshire with my ex-husband and I just could not settle for whatever reason. Every day was a slog and all I...

Re: International bank account

You are my hero! I'd love to live in both the UK and France. Have you shared your story somewhere here BE? Also, did you happen to take out a mortgage with HSBC International? I am thinking of...

Re: How is the UK Work Landscape?

Hello,

I left the UK for the US in 2016 and worked in marketing/communications. What I found is that most of the job market was (unfortunately) driven by recruitment consultants - i.e. Michael...

Smile Re: My desire to move back is growing stronger...

Hello to the OP,

I agree with what others have said. Stop worrying about your age. 40 is the new 25 anyway - haven't you heard? When you are 85, you'll think back to being 40 as a time when you...

Re: Homeward bound, finally

Any of this is better than what's happening where I live. When China stopped taking our recyclables, the local government just kept collecting it without telling residents it was no longer being...

Re: Homeward bound, finally

Hi there,
I thought I would chime in as I lived in Scotland for several years and am now in the US. Having moved to the US in 2016, I am somewhat regretful for doing so. I am a dual US/UK citizen...

Re: My situation

Hi there,
I would encourage you to get your teaching qualification in the UK. Yes, it is a demanding job - but if you love it, that won't matter. The other positive is that you can take summers off...

Re: Grad School in the UK

I did my undergrad in the US, my MBA in the Netherlands and my Ph.D. in Scotland. My suggestion would be to start narrowing down grad programs of interest and then contacting those universities to...

Re: Common Travel Area?

I agree and if it looks like it will happen, I will be first in line to apply for Scottish citizenship.

Re: Common Travel Area?

Well said. I agree completely. It's a loss of a part of one's identity and it feels as if one has been robbed of it. I received my new British passport in the post last week. It was beautiful...but...
