Re: 5 to 6 Months House Rental Required

Re: New rules for Dual Nationality Brits visiting the UK

Another point to bear in mind is that these days when renewing your UK passport, if you hold a foreign passport, you will almost certainly be asked at some point in the process to upload a coloured...

Re: Moving back to the UK from Canada

Thanks Jakeinaka. Almost sorry I asked now!

Re: UK personal pension - time to dig up my nuts

Thanks very much for this update. I confess I haven’t done anything about our UK personal pensions because there’s a good chance we’ll be moving to the UK in the next year or so. But what you...

Re: UK Driving License

Update: I did find a section in the DVLA website where you can enter your NI number, date of birth, name and postcode to try to retrieve the driving licence number.

Funnily, I was just wondering this morning how we're going to get my husband's French llcence exchanged for a UK one.

Re: Moving to a drawdown pension
