Best thing about being an expat?

... living in the country you choose to live in, rather than the country you were born in to.

You'll never know 'till you try it.

Re: Best thing about being an expat?

Just as a matter of interest what happens to the British living in continental Europe in 2021? Do they become citizens of the country they are living in?

I have asked this in the Brexit forum but they are too busy going over the same old ground and burbling on about fishing rights ad nauseum.

Better to ask the people actually living in Spain, France etc, what arrangements have been made?

Re: Best thing about being an expat?

I have family living in Spain and had checked to see what happens to them following Brexit. The following links are I believe the official versions and do seem to give the information required:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-europe

https://www.instituteforgovernment.o...e-after-brexit

Oh dear Assman, it is obvious that you have no idea about some of the requirements for taking out citizenship. There is no "only" about it.

Re: Best thing about being an expat?

The uk doesn’t do much for us Australians who were born in the uk. Frozen pensions and not exactly welcoming at the airports. Questions about how long you intend staying in God’s own etc. We won’t be going over there again now ,it is too far though we enjoyed our stay just before The Plague started.

Re: Best thing about being an expat?

I'm not an expat (yet) but I think the best thing must be hearing about all the crap that goes on in the World in a foreign language so you can't understand a word of it.
