Richey Edwards Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I fully plan on eventually leaving the country when I have my university degree and have been practicing for a few years - maybe to Australia or NZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do NZ. A wonderful place that me and my partner were seriously considering moving to pre-covid. We've still not ruled it out but our wee one now makes it a bit more difficult. My brother has been there for over 10 years, has an amazing family and life there, I'd recommend it to anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) I intend to spend the rest of my life in another country and moan on P&B that the inferior Jocks I've left behind are fucking everything up.

Not having an EU passport is making this far more difficult than it was pretty brexit. Had a job lined up in Switzerland working between Lyon and Geneva, pulled the offer when I informed them I didn't have an Irish passport. So ideally yes, but in practise no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been living abroad for 8 years now and would have returned by now if not for Brexit. The UK is tanking economically and I don’t see how it can turn it around. Plus, the traffic in Edinburgh has got even more shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit had no effect on internal UK border arrangements and, as such, the large English immigrant community in Edinburgh is still firmly in place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was the French end of the job that caused the issue? I know a few folk who have moved from the UK to Switzerland post Brexit and had no issues whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job offer was on the table and rescinded after questions about my passport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it varies from Kanton to Kanton in some aspects, but by and large if you have a contract on the table they will approve you with almost no questions asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Probably said it before on this thread, but leaving the UK is without question the best major life decision I have ever made and I have absolutely no plans to move back whatsoever at any time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 This thread should be "Emigrants of P&B", surely? Have we had any "I came here from Stavanger to be closer to my beloved Stenhousemuir" posts yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
