The Situation
Striker
I was just looking into this tonight in the hope that maybe something would come up in the future in which I could consider relocating over there.
From the (admittedly little) research I've done, it seems a very long winded process in which you have to have an employer guaranteeing you work to get a work Visa which they have to pay thousands for (not going to happen these days unless you're very highly skilled).
There's no chance of just going over there with your savings, seeing what happens with regards to work etc when you get there and if it doesn't work out just coming back, is there?
Compare that to over here where they'd set most people up for life with a house, money every week, free healthcare etc if you wanted to relocate to the UK
