Scotland: Visa Question:

If Scotland was Independent it would B easier 4 U 2 move there but while under Westminister, immigration rules R tight. Because of all the EU folks & refugees trying 2 move there's 1 of the reasons, Brits voted 2 Britexit. U would B best 2 contact the Brit embassy/the Home Office

Scotland: Where to live in Glasgow:

Depends what ur looking 4, Renting/buying? will U have a car? Lots of nice flats overlooking river Clyde. U can check out some properties on Rightmove.com. Sauchiehall St near Kelvin groves nice. West end V popular, around University/Byres Rd, even going further west,= Partick, further Whiteinch.

Scotland: Thinking of Moving to Scotland:

Being a Commonwealth person won't make it any easier. It was only easier 4 EU folks, but that may B changing w/Britexit. A young beautiful, singer actress, Ebony Buckle, Australian, married 2 a Brit, was denied residence, (google it) cause her hubby didn't earn 18,600 quid, even tho she did, her income didn't count.

Scotland: American moving to Glasgow:

He would need 2 apply 4 working permit but don't think its that easy 2 get. He would not need 2 give up his US citizenship, but if working would B subject 2 double taxation.West end safest area 2 live & lots of students live there, can also B expensive 4 rent. I can recommend Cameron & Wright on Crow Rd as leasing agents.

Scotland: Renting apartment in Edinburgh:

Can ur family back there not help U w/this / provide U with # of a 2 let agent.

Scotland: Moving to Glasgow:

Don't know how PA compares 2 Dallas 4 cost of living but Scotland'll prob seem quite expensive.U mayb able 2 find student accomodation less expensive. U can check out Cameron & Wright 4 renting flat, located Crow Rd Glasgow. Don't think U'll B able 2 work.

Scotland: How safe is it in Scotland?:

What that's crazy. That must have been some V old footage.There have been some v peaceful protests marches,10 was about a protest against the BBC, being biased in its reporting. Scotland 4 the most part is quite save. Glasgow's the largest city & like any big city has some not so nice areas but they'r in the minority. The west end's the bes, several areas South side R fine.So where in scotland R U planning 2 go? This's a very exciting year there, lots going on.Just celebrated 700 anni of Bannockbun,+ Military day. Soon 2 start the commonwealth Games. Later the Tattoo.etc

Scotland: Schooling in Scotland:

@ the v worst they could always take the GED when they return 2 the states. I was educated in Scotland, when I took the GED, in US,I had been out of school many years. The Tester was surprised I was going 2 take the test in 1 sitting ( I didn't want 2 go & come back another day. Seems a lot who take it leave & revise 4 the next segment.I passed easily & am convinced if I had 2 retake the Scottish O levels, I would have been more doubtful of passing & the test would have been a lot longer & prob not in 1 day. Otherwise mayb a school in US would let the kids take the actual test.

Scotland: Lover's in bind.:

Sorry but the news is not good. Unless U'r fiance earns over 18,000, its a no, I think U already know this.There R 2 cases that say how hard it is. 1)an American guy,a principal/teacher in a small village he has been married 2 a Scottish woman I think 4, 6-10 yrs 2 this point he has had visas 2 work & I guess they'r not renewing, he has been told he needs 2 leave, its ridiculous, how can they say a marriage that long is a sham & he has had many people speak up 4 him & that he's need in his job.Another is the story of a lovely young lady who even had a part on the TV series "George Gently", she is a great singer & actress, tho she was just on 1 episode.She had recently married an singer/artist but he didn't make the 18thou, she had a job as a real estate agent @ 26thou, but they said the citizen had 2 make 18thou & she was from a commonwealth country Australia & had great potential w/her singing & acting, wish I could remember her name. It isn't fair they let in people from the EU, who then claim benefits.

Scotland: Retiring in Scotland:

Do U have savings? can U afford 2 buy a small property perhaps a 1 bedrm. $1500 is @ $1.60 to a quid=937.50 pounds,if U can afford a property U pron can, tho not sure how U would B covered for health. SS will 4ward 2 UK, but U will lose what U have paid in2 medicare. If U have family U may B best 2 stay US
