Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Thank you very much, glad it was just a semantic issue!

I need to discuss things with both my wife and family back home, and see what we decide is the best way forward. As I say, while staying in...

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Actually, I'm a bit confused. I thought people following the SS route did not need a visa...

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Hmm, it's a tricky decision. Staying in Japan is the main option I'm considering, although the employment situation is actually quite difficult. Even with English teaching - one fly in the ointment...

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife

Thanks. This gets more complicated by the minute.

Re: Returning to the UK with my Japanese wife
