OwenAhDark Posted May 22 Report Posted May 22 Are there any other people looking to relocate out of the USA? If so, where and do you have any resources to share? Quote
Falls727 Posted May 22 Report Posted May 22 Im seriously looking to move to the UK in the next year. I can claim dual citizenship. 1 Quote
AirmaxUK Posted May 22 Report Posted May 22 (edited) One of the problems of dual citizenship is Tax. As I understand it from friends in this situation, if you come to the UK and get dual citizenship you'd be liable to pay *both* the IRS and HMRC tax on your income unless you relinquish US citizenship. Take advice from a professional before making a decision. The other phrase that comes to mind is 'out of the frying pan and into the fire'. Speaking as a brit, things aren't great here either. The only thing keeping me here is looking after an elderly parent. My plan for the future isn't to stay here - I'll move for sure. Edited May 22 by AirmaxUK Correction 3 Quote

I was in New York last week and, honestly, if I didn’t also have responsibilities and could afford to do so, I’d quit the UK and move there in a heartbeat. 2 Quote
RubberAustria Posted May 22 Report Posted May 22 Hi bros from the UK! Do you think everything got worse due to Brexit? Quote

Do they require medical documentation when reviewing an individual's application for citizenship? What about the ability to support yourself financially? 1 Quote

I know that I had to pay for a specific health test that included x-rays, a blood test and check up when I was applying for permanent residency here. But if one is applying for it from overseas, I am sure there are clinics approved by Canadian Immigration that perform the tests. Quote

NYBBGUY58 Posted May 22 Report Posted May 22 I looked at moving a bit. It can be tricky if you're HIV positive. Believe it or not, Canada does not want HIV+ immigrating there. I believe that if one wants to, tests are required. From what I recall, the EU has no regulations on HIV status; I can't remember about the UK. The Mideast is not hospitable, generally speaking, to people with HIV. Sorry I can't be more definite, I was unable to find the Website that had specific information. Quote
kitpig Posted May 22 Report Posted May 22 If I had the option, I think I would relocate to Germany, but sadly following the shambles that is brexit, I guess I am destined to stay in the UK Quote

I am residing in UK and don’t see we have gained anything with brexit. UK seems to have a more insular outlook. Much rather to be part of EU and live/travel freely. 2 Quote

We pay tax on everything! Even a tax to die. I do not see why anyone would want to come here. American dream, my ass!! This country is so divided, we are truly on the verge of a civil war or collapse. I want out! I would gladly relinquish my US citizenship in a heartbeat, but there is a huge fee to do that. Leaches!!
