20 years in Kansas Overland Park
Hi, I've lived in Overland Park, Kansas for 21 years but am now considering moving to other part of USA or back to UK. I'm in Japan Osaka at the moment. I miss the English outdoors the most. My family still in Shropshire. Interested in learning what hoops to get back permanently. Thanks.

If you have a valid British passport then you purchase a flight and go. Do you have family members you wish to accompany you?

Yes, valid BP. No family. US wife decided to leave me this month. I remain hopeful she not but if she does no reason to stay.

Hi and welcome to BE
Regardless of the ease of having a British passport/citizenship to assist your move back to the UK, there is still much to leave about the process itself, i.e. NHS, housing, etc. The Moving Back to the UK forum is the perfect place to address your questions and get answers. After a quick read of the forum rules, linked below, please have a visit at the MBTTUK forum I've also linked below.

If you haven't already become a US citizen it's certainly worth considering before moving to the UK just in case you change your mind once you get there.

Apparently he is residing in Japan at the moment. Difficult to naturalize from there.

Re: 20 years in Kansas Overland Park
Sir, As this is the Welcome Inn we discourage back and forth dialogue and ask that you continue your posting in the appropriate forum. If you wish there are several forums that might be of interest to you including the one "Moving Back to the UK" which I had already given you the link to access.
Here is the link for the USA forums which might be where you feel most comfortable. Or perhaps you might want to visit the Lounge which is located further down the BE opening page.
