Going home
Hi everyone, my name is Matt, I am a British citizen, moved to Spain in 2003 and from there to Argentina where I have been living and working for the last 10 years. Due to changing life circumstances I am ready to move back to the 'civilised' world but find myself in a grey area. I'd like to be organising things in the UK since I will be moving back to my parents house to begin with and therefore have a permanent UK address to use for organising things. Since I left I have not kept and bank accounts active or anything else for that matter. My question is whether I can begin using this address (obviously with the consent of my parents who I am in close contact) to begin working on getting documentation for opening a UK bank account even though I am still a resident in another country. How far is it justifiable to get the ball rolling as it were from outside if I am certain of returning within the next six months? There seems to be a 'grey' area where I am neither here nor there. First concerns are financial in which I've sold property here and have no destination in the UK for the proceeds in the country I'm planning to move to. I'd like to start 'proving' to the banks that I'm in the UK even though I'm not. What can be done?

Re: Going home
Hi AC, welcome to British Expats. :wave:
This forum is just for introductions and greetings, so I think the Moving Back to the UK forum will be the best place for you to ask your questions. BTW Please take a moment to review the site rules linked in the far right of the yellowish menu bar in the top right of the screen. |

:welcome: I'm like really genuinely curious about one thing, when you say you are ready to move back to the civilised world? I haven't been to Argentina but would imagine as a civilized country,or maybe not?
