ABOUT
The knowledge hub for Brits living or dreaming of a life abroad.

Remote Possibilities is a weekly, deeply researched, plain-English resource that makes sense of visas, tax and the rest of the admin of moving abroad, for UK citizens planning it, living it, or still wondering if they could.

Your ideal remote life, wherever it is, comes down to a sequence of knowable decisions. Most people struggle to work out which ones really matter can feel overwhelming. We give you the roadmap: the decisions that count, in the right order, so you spend less time on forms and more time enjoying life abroad.

Come with us. We've done the homework.

One email every Friday: the visa, tax and money decisions that get you abroad, in the right order, from people living it ourselves. Free, no catch.

Remote Possibilities is written by British professional researchers who love two things: travelling, and making complicated things simple. Between us we've worked at places like Google, TravelSupermarket and MoneySavingExpert, where the job was to read everything, check it twice, and tell people the truth in plain English. We've used those skills, that knowledge and that experience on something we care deeply about: helping UK citizens with global mobility, so they can live their nomadic and remote dreams, wherever that is for them.

We also live it. Expired passports mid-trip. Conference calls from mountain ranges with predictably awful WiFi. One hurricane insurance claim we'd rather not revisit. One of us has already lived and worked abroad, one of us is planning the next move from the UK, and both of us are working through the same visa portals, Statutory Residence Test flowcharts and NHS forms we write about. Nothing in here is theoretical.

And we don't just learn from our own mistakes. We talk to as many people as we can: readers, people who are planning a move, Brits already living in the countries we cover, and people who have come out the other side and are plotting the next one. Every one of those conversations ends up in what we send you.

We're not immigration lawyers, accountants or financial advisers, and we never pretend to be. What we are is the friend who has done the homework, who will tell you which bits you can handle yourself and exactly when it's time to pay a real expert, and how to walk into that meeting as an informed client rather than a blank cheque.

Say hello any time: [email protected]. We'd love to talk to you, learn from you, understand your goals and help you reach them.

✓ 100% free. No catch, no paywall.

✓ UK-specific. The stuff nobody else covers: HMRC, NHS, post-Brexit visas, Schengen rules, decoded into clear, actionable steps.

✓ Official sources first. Every guide starts with the official source, not a Reddit thread from 2019.

✓ No pay-to-play. If we wouldn't recommend it to a friend, it doesn't get in.

✓ When to get an expert. A straight answer on when you need one, which kind, and how to turn up prepared, so you pay for their expertise, not your education.

✓ 10+ hours saved. Every week, so you can get on with the good bit.

What we write each week is shaped by what you tell us: reader questions, interviews, survey answers and the things we've got wrong ourselves.

If there's something you can't find a straight answer on, tell us. Chances are others are asking the same thing, and it could be next Friday's email. Reply to any issue or write to [email protected].
