5 Countries Brits Can Move to in 24 Hours (No Income Required)

The free guide, Leaving Britain and Living Abroad: lifeabroadwithjames.com/guide?utm_source=youtube Chapter 1, "Would they even have you?", covers what each of the 84 countries Brits actually live in asks before it lets a Briton in. Chapter 4 covers your UK State Pension abroad. Since Brexit, a British passport gets you 90 days in any 180 in the Schengen area, and the long-stay visas want proof of income. These are five countries where a Briton can arrive with no visa application and no income test at the door: how long you can really stay, what living there costs against Britain, the catch in each, and whether the UK government keeps raising your State Pension there.
