With the correct visa, UK citizens are able to visit the USA for a range of time periods. As long as you have done your research about the best kind of visa for you, you should have no issues gaining entry to the USA. Your reasons for relocating will play a large part in the process of procuring the right entry permit. Common visa options for UK citizens moving across the pond include:
Gaining US citizenship will require a longer period spent in the country. Lucky for UK citizens, the US allows dual citizenship, meaning you can have two passports at once.
The sheer size and variety of possible destinations across the United States can make it seem impossible to settle in one place. Your preference for a location can be dependent on a million things in your circumstance, such as office location, schools, or transport links. Cities can provide a more international environment, one where you’re more likely to meet those in a similar situation to you, whereas more rural places might feature some of America’s gorgeous landscapes.
Not to mention, your choice of place will come with repercussions for your climate, which will vary much more than in the UK. Wherever you choose, Bishop’s Move will be there to assist you in transporting your life across the globe.
As the fourth most populous city in the country, you’ll be moving to one of the most social cities in the world. Dining out and seeing a show in Houston’s infamous theatre district will keep you more than busy.
LA tops wishlists across the globe, boasting sunshine, beaches, and glamorous lifestyles. Choose from an array of gorgeous neighbourhoods and exciting career opportunities.
Seeking some of that East Coast sun? Miami’s tropical climate and exciting nightlife are the pulls that many young expats feel to move to the USA.
The Big Apple, the city that never sleeps. New York City boasts high salaries, more people than any other city in the world, and a huge range of opportunities for entertainment or career, it’s not hard to see why NYC is an incredibly popular choice for expats.
Despite being an incredibly popular destination for people from all over the world, the US is also a notoriously difficult country to move to. That’s why it’s critical to choose the correct entry path for your time in the States. For those hoping to move temporarily, a non-immigrant visa is necessary, but for prospective permanent residents, you’ll need an immigrant visa.
What’s more, the purpose of your visit will determine the type of visa you must apply for, whether it’s for work, study, or to join your family. You can begin the application process and find out the full extent of US visa categories on the US Embassy website.
One thing to think about your situation in the US will be how you plan to get around. If you are hoping to reside in one of the USA’s vibrant cities, public transport can be your best friend.
However, if moving more into the countryside, you might need to decide whether you’ll be bringing your personal vehicle during your move. If so, you’ll need to perform additional research and follow all vehicle paperwork requirements.
With a move as far away as the USA, you’ll want to make sure your health is looked after. When it comes to daily life, you might already know that medical care over the pond works a little differently from what we’re used to. There is no equivalent to our NHS, so ensure you invest in health insurance that will cover any ailments or possible accidents during your time in the USA.
Similarly to the UK, accommodation can vary dramatically across the United States. You can choose to rent or purchase property, but it’s worth doing your research while in temporary accommodation to see what your options are.
Cities like New York will be trickier and you may have to compromise more than if you were to look to more suburban areas. Exploring the options within your budget while fulfilling your geographical and personal requirements can be a challenge.
Thousands of Britons move across the pond every single year, and it’s not difficult to see why it’s so popular for UK residents. The variety between states, and even within them, combined with the lack of cultural or language barriers means that Britons can create the life they want with ease. A country with the sheer size of the US encompasses just about every climate and environment you could want, from vibrant cities to rolling mountain ranges.
Alongside the stunning environments and climates on offer, the USA also provides one of the highest standards of living on the globe. Career opportunities are, in most cases, high for a range of skill levels and the lifestyle here is something many can only dream about.
