Right, you have made your mind up - you are off for good. Well, you think you are, and the Philippines here we come.

Do you close everything down here in England? I know some say "don't do that, keep one bill at an address, so if you do have to come back for whatever reason, you will be fine".

But surely there is a time limit for doing this, isn't there?

If you do keep say, a gas bill for a house, does that mean you can always come back, even after say, 10 years and expect to live here like nothing has happened?

The NHS: Is there a time limit too, for staying out of the country? There are always rumors saying this will happen.

Most know that one day we are hoping to call the Phils our home, so why keep anything open here? "Yes, but if you are ill", you may say, but why come back here if it's terminal?

Anyway, is there a time limit that you have for coming back to England?
