Brexit – In or Out

There is a lot of scaremongering going on at the moment and even more unanswered questions on how a Brexit will affect expatriates in Europe, of which some 800,000 currently live in Spain. Be it in relation to healthcare entitlements, pensions, employment or the basic question of whether expatriates still have the automatic right to live within the EU. I am sure over the next few months this will become clearer to all.

Is in or out the right way to go? Like everything in life, everyone has their own opinions and only time will tell if the final decision was ultimately the right one. If you want your voice heard and your opinion to matter, and have lived outside the UK for less than 15 years, then you need to register to vote at https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

With all this uncertainty making the money and stock markets even more volatile, as well as the Bank of England and the ECB talking of cutting interest rates further or even making them negative, now is the time to make sure your financial affairs are in order, working for you in the best possible way and that they are in the right place for you no matter what life throws at you.

Sweden Prepared to Manage Brexit in All Eventualities

Hand with Sweden flagIf you are an expat in Sweden, wealth management that takes account of your cross-border financial interests is a must.

However, with Brexit looming there is currently an added layer of concern, with the UK’s imminent separation from the EU undoubtedly relevant to certain components of any British expat’s wealth management strategy.

Fortunately, and despite a constant deluge of disturbing headlines that could easily have you believing otherwise, there is little chance that British citizens living in Sweden will need to make any fundamental changes to their outlook.

Can expats vote in May’s surprise general election?

Polling Station EntranceFollowing Theresa May’s shock announcement that there will be a general election on June 8, many long-term expats were left wondering if they would get the chance to vote.

Britons who have lived abroad for more than 15 years were previously denied the right to vote in the 2015 general election as well as the EU referendum last year. The latter was viewed as particularly unfair by many seeing as the result of the referendum, Brexit, is likely to have major impact on the future for many British expats.
