Can I Move Back to the UK from Switzerland?

If you are returning to the UK after living in Switzerland for a period, you can still return to live and work in the United Kingdom. If all of your family are British citizens then you shouldn’t encounter any problems when moving to the UK. If your family has citizenship in the EU or elsewhere, you will need to apply for the appropriate family visa upon re-entry. The UK government website is the best source of information and you can also find out about entry requirements.
