Hello all...
My wife and I would love to move to England permanently, unfortunately I just don't think I can get a work Visa comparable to the income I have here. My wife stays at home and homeschool's our daughter.
But we were considering subletting our place in the states and visiting England for 6 months...then coming home. But if we can we'd move over there for 6 months...rent a place...then when it was time to come home...put all our stuff in storage...then fly back to the states. Then re-occupy our place, then after "some waiting period" just move back. My job allows me to work from a virtual office, so I can go anywhere. But I don't believe I can technically get a "work visa" from the U.K. doing that.
So I'm curious, could we stay 6 months (which is how long U.K / U.S. visa is for) then go home for a month....then come back for 6 months...etc etc. We'd like to come back to the U.S. anyway about every six months as our other grown kids are here. Just curious if this is a possibility.
Also? How much is a comfortable income range for the U.K? I've been scanning the net trying to find a clue...but I think what America views as middle class isn't what's middle class in England. Just say how comfortably could a 3 person family live on 50,000 pounds a year?
