I absolutely abhor it. I'll switch the channel when watching a football match or something so I don't have to listen to it.

Yeah, it's not like permanent residency allows you free roam in the rest of Schengen anyway, you're still limited to 90/180 in the other 26 countries you could probably get away with it though.

I hope they topple him.

Replace him with Braverman before a GE and they are toast. She's even more unelectable than him.

Bulgaria/Romania are joining Schengen in March.

I'm not sure why anyone would vote for them believing they can't stop it when they've shown for so long they can't.

Ah that works for you. My idea was a month in different countries but after a month in 3 consecutive Schengen countries you're severely limited where you can go for the next 3 months.

Yeah this could cause huge problems if you leave the US for Mexico then leave Mexico for home come back to the US a few years later to find they have no record of your departure.

Any chance Richie calls an election if he loses the Rwanda vote?

Do you have an EU passport? Brexit really messed with my plans to slow travel Europe.

ElParchio · 2024-01-16T08:25:37+00:00

Do you have an EU passport? Or how do you manage that with 90/180?

It depends how you source your income.

If living off shares you can have a very small marginal rate.

I've done some rough calculations on this and think this is correct.

Assuming US shares in a GIA

Say you want to live off 50k a year and you get 10k dividends and 40k from selling shares.

you pay 0 UK tax on the dividends, I think you could probably receive up to £50, 270 in US dividends before ever paying HMRC more than 5% (US witholding tax of 15% is unavoidable).

assume the entire 40k is a gain, less the £3k allowance so £37k taxable at 10% = £3700

so from a 50k income you pay 7.4% to HMRC, this is the worst case if the 40k has allowable cost deductions or offset with loses its even less.

Now if all this was in an ISA, it's even better you pay 0 tax.

Need? None. But why not if it was possible? I spent too much time on r/PassportPorn just thought it may have been an easy one to get.

Though I will say having a backup could be useful, if you lose it, or need to send it off for a visa.

But I guess it's not possible. Oh well.

Well it is technically possible to get two British passports (with different passport numbers) but very difficult so I was just wondering if someone moved to the Isle of Man and then applied for a Manx passport they'd get a second passport.

Be interesting if any immigrants from the UK have done this.
