Q&A for How to Move to England

Yes, but the requirements are more strict than they used to be. Now you must be able to prove you have a net income (after taxes) of £25,000 a year (you won't be allowed to work in the UK), and be able to show a connection to the UK, like close relatives or a previous long period of stay. Look on the UK Home Office's website for more information.

There are several ways, depending on how you are able to qualify. Take a look at How to Become a UK Citizen for the different ways as well as all the necessary requirements and forms you will need to submit.

The country offers a very safe and secure lifestyle where you won't get rich, but you'll be safe and have the ability to enjoy several holidays a year and also save a little bit. The country heavily taxes you on all things; however, you'll enjoy cheap medical care and have access to first class emergency services wherever and whenever. The country can be traversed from end to end within 6 - 7 hours and work is plentiful, meaning you can settle in any part of the country to an extent with a very high likelihood of finding work. The country boasts a high class education system (if one makes use of it), where all persons have the opportunity to gain the ladder to achieve what they want to.

You in fact can receive social security payments no matter where you live in the world.

Moving to another country is a big life decision. You need to be willing to accept all the changes that come with such a move before you'll know whether it's right for you. Consider studying there, or getting a work visa and getting a job for a short amount of time. This way, you can experience what "real life" is like in the UK, and make a solid decision.

You shouldn't use a British accent if you don't have one. Brits might deem it offensive. A slight natural accent may come to you after living there for a bit.

It's definitely a good idea to learn a fair amount of English if you want to get a well-paying job.

Work in the service industry. Waiters and the like do not need to have a university education. In the end, you have quite a few options. It comes down to what you favour.

Being a citizen of the EU (which includes Portugal) automatically gives you the right to live and work in the UK. Of course, having a passport doesn't automatically make you a citizen of a country, so you need to check your status -- have a look at Portuguese citizenship laws.

Consider working for an American firm that has British offices. Look for specialties that you may have that would be needed in the UK; preferably skills that the average British citizen may not have. (Like something that is proprietary in the US.) You will be required to have sufficient means to support yourself before you will be granted a permanent visa. Also, since Brexit, you won't have such good opportunities on the Continent anymore.

18 years old unless you are moving with your parent(s) or legal guardian.

You will still need to apply for a work visa. Anyone not of the U.K. or EEU will still need to apply to work.

It means "very." For example in the sentence, "The car was bloody terrible", "bloody" means "very" or "extremely."

Yes, you can move, but you cannot take your Social Security with you. I suggest you look at the different visas available.

You can have a horse shipped overseas, but keep in mind that this will probably be pretty expensive.

There are plenty of international moving services available. Note that some might be cheap but will take longer to get your items to your destination, while some may be more expensive but get your items there faster.

No. Fish and chips is a popular food in the UK, but you can get many other foods too. Many supermarkets also have international aisles, so you can still eat the food from your previous country.
