Am I Allowed to Move to the UK From the UAE?

It’s natural to worry about your right to return back to the UK if you have lived abroad for a substantial period. As long as you are a British citizen, however, your right to return remains unaffected. If you are travelling with non-UK citizens, they might need visas to move to the UK. You should also ensure you have sufficient funds to support yourself and any dependents before making the move, including areas such as:

  • Your pension
  • Your income
  • Healthcare
  • Insurance
