Can I use my UK bank account if I no longer live in the UK or have a UK visa?
Yes, you most certainly can, particularly if you have a VISA or MASTERCARD debit card and credit card. Cheques are virtually extinct, with the exception of large companies who still print them off; but more are using electronic funds transfers as they are cheaper.Even though you may not live in England anymore, if you are still doing transactions in the UK, or need a Sterling Account, using England as “foreign exchange, correspondent bank”, then I would certainly keep the UK account.It will mean that having Sterling in there if you need to work in that currency, you will not have to pay foreign exchange and processing fees; particularly if you Credit/Charge Card is registered to that account as well. If you are doing a lot of work using Sterling it will save you a fortune in FOREX Fees, and you do not have the volatility of the Exchange Rates themselves. That would only come in to play when you are “topping up” your account in the UK from USA.Certainly when I was in retail banking, it was frequent that businessmen who were flying around the world would still have a UK account, even though most of the time they lived in another Country 90% of the year.The only caution I would place would be the costs of holding the account if you declare it as a business account, and the voloume of the transactions are not very high. If you just want a “pocket money” account, for use for cash when you are in the UK, to save carrying other currency on you, then I would suggest that you open a deposit account with an ATM card. Most Deposit accounts work like this these days and the voucher & pass-book system near extinct.The advantage is that you can draw up to a ceiling on the card in any one day/week, as agreed by you and the bank from and ATM; further it is safer than carrying a lot of currency on you; and if you do have an excess, you can pay it in to the bank as well. Again, it solves the issues relating to foreign exchange costs; further because it is encoded with a PIN, it makes it safer if it gets lost, more to the point can be stopped quickly.
Can I move to the UK for an apprenticeship?
I currently live in the US and have been wanting to move to England for a while now, and recently found out how common apprenticeships were there. For the field I d like to work in, an apprenticeship would be perfect, but I wanted to know if I d be able to move there for an apprenticeship without being sponsored. I looked up requirements for apprenticeships and it requires you live in England. It doesn t say anything specific about whether you have to have citizenship, but I was wondering what kind of visas I have the option to get. I don t think I d be able to get a student visa or a work visa since student visas don t apply to apprenticeships from what I ve read and I d need to be sponsored by a company to get a work visa, which I doubt would happen since I need to live there to even be able to apply for an apprenticeship.
If Brexit happens, can EU citizens move to UK, to live and work there?
The short answer is, no one knows yet. Negotiations are ongoing and stalled on the point of ‘what rights to stay current EU workers have on the UK’ (along with the Irish border and financial commitments).There are two likely possibilities:1. The UK has a complete break, which will likely mean EU Nationals will need work permits and visas as do non Europeans. This is expensive and tedious for employers, so will mean it will be harder to find such job offers.2. The UK stays in the Single Market / EEA. This comes with the 4 freedoms, including Freedom of Movement. I. E. Nothing changes for EU employees.Even if 1 comes to pass, there is the likelihood of special agreements between individual countries like Spain, where over 1m British expats (mostly retirees, but also workers) live and work and pay into the economy.Currently, it looks most likely that 2 will be the outcome, with possible immigration brake (which Cameron had already secured 6 months before the brexit referendum!). It would help if the UK applied the EU rules (which it never bothered doing), like Germany does for example, and reject EU Nationals that are unable to support themselves within 3 months (job or wealth). This is well before any benefits can be claimed - a major gripe of the leave supporters.
If you live in the UK, how do you identify your local region?
England: Bedfordshire Berkshire Buckinghamshire Cambridgeshire Cheshire Cornwall Cumberland Derbyshire Devon Dorset County Durham Essex Gloucestershire Hampshire Herefordshire Hertfordshire Huntingdonshire Kent Lancashire Leicestershire Lincolnshire Middlesex Norfolk Northamptonshire Northumberland Nottinghamshire Oxfordshire Rutland Shropshire Somerset Staffordshire Suffolk Surrey Sussex Warwickshire Westmorland Wiltshire Worcestershire Yorkshire Scotland: Caithness Sutherland Ross and Cromarty Inverness-shire Nairnshire County of Moray Banffshire Aberdeenshire Kincardineshire Angus Perthshire Argyll County of Bute Ayrshire Renfrewshire Dunbartonshire Stirlingshire Clackmannanshire Kinross-shire Fife East Lothian Midlothian West Lothian Lanarkshire Peeblesshire Selkirkshire Berwickshire Roxburghshire Dumfriesshire Kirkcudbrightshire Wigtownshire Wales: Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) Carmarthenshire (Sir Gaerfyrddin) Ceredigion Powys Flintshire (Sir y Fflint) Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych) Gwynedd Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro) Northern Ireland: Fermanagh Tyrone Londonderry Antrim Down Armagh I think that's them all! Some are the traditional names that are still used, but some have been revamped over the years e.g In Scotland east Lothian was traditionally Haddingtonshire, but the lists I have given are the most up to date of all the Uk counties as referred to by everyone.... as far as I'm aware!
If I have Dutch citizenship, can I live in the UK?
EU or EEA citizens generally have the right to live and work in any EU or EEA member state. In the case of the UK, you should get a residency card first: see https://www.gov.uk/eea-registrat....
What could happen if I stay more than six months in UK without a visa? What are the consequences? Can I go back to Mexico after a year?
Wait, so let me try and assess your situation right now.(1) You are a Mexican citizen.(2) As a Mexican citizen, you are allowed to stay in the UK visa free for six months.(3) You wish to live in the UK with your significant other, who is presumably either a UK/EU citizen or a non-EU citizen on a student visa.(4) You don't have enough money to show sufficient funds to apply for a visa (which visa were you thinking of, if I may ask?), but you presumably have enough money to pay for a ticket from Mexico to the UK.Please listen to what everyone else is saying on this thread. Do not mess around with immigration. UK immigration especially. There may not be any exit checks but as far as I am aware you do get interrogated at the border, and you may be denied entry if the scary-looking officials behind the counter suspect of fraud of any kind.Alright, you're desperate. I hear you. If you still wish to do this, here's a trick that many seasoned travelers are aware of.Towards the end of your 6 months, book a £20 coach to anywhere in the Schengen area. Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, it doesn't matter. Stay there for a couple of days, make it a romantic weekend trip with your boyfriend if you want to. Then, you come back to the UK, and get your passport stamped for another 6 months.If they let you in, you won't be overstaying. And you get a nice holiday out of it.However, at this point, you will have to face another round of interrogation at the UK border. If they are suspicious about the real purpose of your stay (ie. not a tourist visit), which they frankly probably will be, they have every right to deny you entry. But if you do somehow manage to get past their interrogation and they do let you in, you've got another 6 months to spend with your boyfriend in the UK.At this point, we've got the entry and exit stuff done, but here comes the real issue: how are you going to finance yourself in the UK for a whole year? You won't be able to work, or study, or do anything that residents can do, because you're only a temporary visitor. Unless your boyfriend is wealthy enough to support you (because if you can't prove sufficient funds for a UK visa then you most likely aren't), you'll be living a fairly miserable life in the UK.But really, don't mess with immigration, and for the love of all that is good don't mess with the law.
