General Discussion

I've been in the UK for five years, now. I however had a British fiancee (now my wife); emigration is not actually that easy. You can't just pick up and go; you have to have family/marriage connections, or a job waiting (and to qualify under skilled worker programmes, if you don't have a skill or profession, forget it); a place at a university, or independent assets valued above a certain amount. You have to obtain a visa in advance of travel; you can't, normally, switch visa categories when in-country (if you arrive and are issued a visitor/tourist visa, you'll have to return to your country of origin to apply in another visa category). Moving to another country is not easy or straightforward.
