Moving Back, Immigration, Work & Finances

Hi Guys.

 

I am a UK Citizen by birth (UK passport), and moving back to the UK soon permanently.

 

Will immigration ask me questions about having a job to come back to or having enough finances to tide me over till I find work? Or do they only worry about that with visa holders on holiday etc?

 

I was thinking because I am a Citizen by birth and have a UK Passport with right of abode, that it doesn't matter if I have a job or not, or whether or not I have a cent to my name.

 

Incidentally, I will have enough money to last 4 - 6 months of unemployment, though I am a nurse, so unemployment won't be an issue, and I have family to fall back on if need be.

 

I need to stop reading forums, I read certain things and then they get me questioning myself.

 

:err:

 

Cheers

Matt

When you arrive in the Uk you will go through the UK & European citizen line, Just have your UK Passport ready to show, they will not ask you anything, they just want to see you have a British Passport. Its as simple as that.:notworthy:

Hi Srp

 

what happens if you are coming back and your British passports are out of date and you only have an Australian one, is that why some people re-apply for their brit passports as well as having an ozzy one.

I beleive that the UK imigration will accept a UK passport that is up to 18months out of date if you are returning. (I think Nigel mentioned this in a post once). But of course it is always safer to have a current passport, just incase you have to return in an emergency. May save a lot of questions.
