Thank you for adding me. I'm Marci from the Bahamas. Considering  working in London. I'm a clinical nurse of 21 years and I'm presently working with TB control. I'm in London for two more days. Could have used some links. Any hospital suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

You will need to have your nursing qualifications validated; this will take you through the process.

Hope this helps.

I am new in this forum.  I moved here 2002 from Kenya. I have lived and worked as a nurse in many cities. I retired few years ago. I feel it is now time to go back to Kenya. I would like to start a charity work in Malindi which is in the coast. I would like to visit the villages and help with various needs in the community. I do not know how I will raise money for this work.

Let me be the first to welcome you and thank you for joining the ´ó¿§¸£ÀûÓ°Ôº maituwakws

You have a few options, starting a Crowdfund or something similar, getting involved with a charity may be a local church. All the best of luck.

Hi everyone! Me and my fiancee are moving to England, Leeds this October. We'd love to hear more about the experience from other expats. What was the moving process like? How did you find a job and a place to rent? Furthermore just looking to make new friends!!

Hoi, en hartelijk welkom vanuit Leeds.

(I'll switch to English now - Forum rules).  We live on the outskirts of Leeds, been here for over 20 years now.  I'm a Brit, my wife is Dutch (from Enschede).  When we moved here from Holland, we got the removal company in (my new boss paid for it), they packed everything and loaded it on their truck and it turned up at our new house 2 days later.  When I unpacked it, we noticed that they had also loaded our Dutch vuilniston from Gemeente Enschede which was a bit of a pain to get back.

I had a job to go to; my wife was a ziekenverzorgster in Holland and decided to try something else when she got here (truth is, she took one look at the English hospitals and decided that perhaps nursing in the UK wasn't for her).  That said, after a couple of years she got a job as a practice nurse at our local doctors and has worked for the NHS here ever since.

Getting work very much depends on what you're looking for, what qualifications you have and where you want to work; it isn't hard to find a job here.  Housing is not so easy; rental accommodation is always in short supply everywhere; I always advise people that if they have no friends or family to go to, then to try out AirBnb for a couple of weeks while you search for something permanent; there's a company called Rightmove who are pretty reputable; this will take you to their website where I created a search for around where we live.

We've almost come to the end of our time in the UK; I'm now retired and my wife's NHS pension pays out in 18 months, then we'll be going back to Enschede; our eldest daughter has already moved back to Almelo and our twins will stay in Yorkshire with their own families.  The message there is that the UK is OK, but we prefer Holland and have always said that our coming here was never forever.

Anyway; if you have any specific questions, please come back and ask.

Hope this helps.

Hi i m Aeshah
I wanted to ask about how can an Indonesian national move in the uk to work.what type of visa does he need and has anyone gone through the process? There is no job offer here in the uk for him but he would like to enter to find a job

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

In the circumstances as you describe them; he will need a UK work visa; at the top of the England Forum is a post called "NON EU CITIZENS APPLYING FOR A UK WORK VISA"; I suggest you read that and check out the link it provides.

My own opinion is that he will not be issued with a visa to come here and look for work.

Hope this helps.
