Hundreds of thousands of United Kingdom residents decide to move abroad each year. This can be those looking for different career opportunities, a better quality of life or just a change of scenery.
There are a few more popular choices when moving abroad, as well as some that are easier to gain residency, so here at Rose Removals, we have put together a guide to what is popular and simple to immigrate to.
Australia is a very designer destination for UK residents to immigrate to, but it does require some prep work to do so. You will need to apply and be granted a permanent residency visa. Many choose to apply for a skilled residency visa, which enables them to live and work in Australia without the need for sponsorship.
To become a resident of the United States when moving from the UK, you must first obtain a Green Card. This is much easier to obtain through employment or family sponsorship. The USA only allows a certain number of each kind of Visa per year, so you might have to wait several years before your visa is approved and you can actually move.
The United Arab Emirates has become increasingly popular for people looking to immigrate abroad, due to the modern infrastructure and amazing climate. You can obtain a 5-year UAE residence permit by purchasing a certain level of real estate.
Since we voted to leave the EU a few years ago, the number of Brits looking to gain EU citizenship has increased sharply. It used to be a couple thousand per year, but we are now seeing tens of thousands receive an EU passport.
A Briton can stay in an EU member state for a set period of time, but to permanently move they will need a residence permit. Portugal is a popular country to immigrate to and is well known for being one of the most accessible European countries to immigrate to.
France is another very popular country to move to from the UK, as it is so close to the UK, perfect for those wanting to pop back to visit family and friends. It is no longer possible for British nationals to move to France and live freely, however, it can still be done through work visas or sponsorship.
