I strongly agree, it iis not for everyone and nor should it be. Leaving your home country is tough as you are leaving your security behind you. Our chosen paths to wed foreign ladies makes us different to the norm, but our rights in this matter have been restricted due to greedy governments out for a swift buck.Originally Posted by lastlid
I have travelled all my life for work. Since 1979. Norman Tebbit would have been proud of me. But I don't think it is always the right solution for everybody and neither should it be. Imagine if we all travelled in the same way, the country would be in chaos
It is of course great that Steve has found a solution that suits him and one that perhaps Steve skills are suited to. But such a move might not suit everyone in the same way.
As a reminder of Norman Tebbits advice:

Many of my friends here have been able to bring their wives to the uk and I congratulate all who have persevered and made it. This was going to be my path had I not been lucky enough to get this job. But for those of us (and there are a few here on the forum) who have led expat lives will know the 'draw' of living in another country and the benefits it can bring. It also gives you the insight into how we are nannied and bullied and led and ripped off at every turn in the Uk without even realising it.
Who knows, I might have to come back, but I will make the most of my time here and fight to stay away from the uk
