Hello all! I’m Scottish and moved to the Netherlands to be with my fiancé in 2016. We have 2 children now and I want to go back to Scotland. We own a house here and have other commitments.
For any one else who has moved back to Scotland/UK from abroad, how hard was it? What is a realistic timeline? How quickly were you able to secure a mortgage? I’ve read a lot of providers need you to be in the UK for at least 6 months before they’ll give you a mortgage.
I would appreciate any advice!!
No I don’t. It’s so expensive to do the inburgering exams and I don’t want to give up my British nationality, I know there are ways around it but I’m not really interested in having a Dutch passport. I have considered this in my thought process and I’ve been thinking about returning since 2020. My partner is Dutch and we have looked into the visa options and will be going with the spousal visa.
