Thanks again for all your comments. Abb: All very valid comments. IR35 is a big risk and my friends have already warned me against working out my finances based on the tax structure now. And this is exactly why I feel there will be very little saving if I do R2UK. In fact, it will be a much bigger ...

The weather is one of the most complex things to explain mate. When I arrived in the UK, I used to love it. Nice and cloudy all the time ,and you sleep well as soon as you hit the bed.

As a family, we have had a couple of international vacations and numerous mini holidays and getaways. We ...

Right. This gets even more interesting. Do we need to pay tax in UK, on capital gains made on global income, even if we are non residents? I thought if you was a non resident UK citizen, then you only pay tax in the country you live. Some double taxation agreement, that UK has with India. Does ...

[QUOTE=Philosopher;476580]see the Children section here which contains a further link to the Discretion visa for minors Suma, Apart from the college/university confusion, have you notices any other disadvantages of a UK citizenship?

[QUOTE=mn_op;476524]8 grands over 7 -8 years is not a big deal. There are people in this world who will give their right arm for UK citizenship. Its definitely a good asset to have. Additionally, you cannot predict your income for next 7-8 years when you are only 29 years of age. It may have very ...

I guess my question is more like "Should I invest 7 more years in the UK for acquiring citizenship for my sons? Will it give them any real advantage in their adult life?". I have already spent 7 years to get mine. And now I will have to spend 7 more years. In these 7 years, I don't think I will ...
