I am thinking about moving to Britain and I need information.?

Question

I am thinking about moving to the UK (Britain or Scotland), and I need information for the things I should know before hand, such as the type of medical care, the economy, the current majority of political affliament (sorry for sp), and also things about passport and immigration information. It also wouldn't hurt to know what kind of jobs the UK is looking for in their immigrants. Website links for such information listed above would be very helpful. Thanks in advance! ~Anali~

Answer 1

Immigration - http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/

Working - http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/

Healthcare for overseas visitors - http://www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance/International/OverseasVisitors/fs/en

Unless you're from the EU or some Commonwealth countries, moving to the UK is near impossible unless you're maried. super-talented, relocated by an international company you work for or within the field of medicine.

Answer 2

Hi Anali, It depends from which part of the world you are moving to Birtain. This place is more expensive than the rest of the world. Here it is a combination of capitalisim and socialism. Thererfore, one needs to pay more tax for the socialistic approach. Regarding jobs, if you are Dr. I hear that its wise to stay away. IT jobs are available. On the whole the mechanism here is very slow when compared to other parts of the world. Here healthcare is free . Transportation is excellent. However, it will hurt to see that you pay more taxes for the upliftment of somebody else

Answer 3

I'd choose Scotland for sure.... though there are much lesser jobs than in the English side. There is some truth to the phrase "Scot free"

Answer 4

You get a 3 month visa on arrival, but you have to have an EU workpermit to get hired (and your employer will have to prove that an EU national cant do the job before they can hire you)
