Yes, that’s what we’ve been thinking too. It’s just depressing the amount of money it costs although Wise seem to have the lowest rates at the moment. The timing just sucks it was 57p to the dollar when we first started looking, now it’s 52p. As you say though, could be worse I guess!

Thank you, we’ll check out those two companies today

Hi Tony, just been reading your post and was wondering how you are getting on? My other half left the UK 40 years ago when he was 10 and when we reconnected last year he decided to come home. First thing he did was apply for his UK passport and it all went through really smoothly. Think it took about a month from sending off the application to receiving it in the post. Three tries at a travel exemption (third time lucky) and not a great choice of flights back but he’ll be on his way in October! Yay!

Hello everyone, new to group but I’ve been following a lot of your posts over the last few months. So my fiancé has FINALLY been granted his travel exemption to move back to the UK and managed to get a flight in October, so excited! Anyway, we’re struggling to get our heads round setting up a UK bank account, transferring his money over to the UK etc. The exchange rate is terrible and the forecast for it is worse! So we could really do with some guidance. Has anyone moved back to the UK recently and have any sage advice for us please? Thank you in advance!
