another cup of coffee?

Fri Sep 26, 2008, 11:49 AM

Mood: Hope

How do you move to another country? I am seriously thinking about moving to London, finding a wardrobe job somewhere or even freelance costume-making (running a quaint costume shop) or something… what is involved? How difficult is it? How hard is it to find a nice little house with a sewing area?
How can I import my cats?
How do I get all of my things there? Freight? Is there a green card? Healthcare?

Is it smoke in a bottle?

Considering how things are currently, I would say it's hard but not impossible. Definitely something to dream about and hope to make it a reality.

Do you have LJ? I took a quick look there, and these three communities might be of interest to you.

Apparently, the place to start would be chatting to the British Embassy - I asked around and apparently they're lovely and really helpful! Just give them a call, no pressure, no commitment, just ask for the information so you know what is and isn't possible.

Contact the British Embassy in Washington D.C. at 1-202-588-7800

Just remember - you've already got a home waiting for you! Complete with sewing room, props workshop with lovely murals...

Apparently animals need to be in something or other for fourteen days before they can travel, but I can't think of the word of the thing they need to be in. Someone else will probably tell you. As for moving country I imagine it's the same as moving house but a bit further. You're in the US, right? At least you wouldn't have to learn a different language. And London's cool. Otherwise I don't know anything else that can help. But good luck if you do.

Quarantine? It's usually 6 months from US - UK, since we don't have rabies and a lot of other illnesses on our little island. Makes it a lot safer for our kitties to venture outside, but it does mean bringing cats in from out of the country is tough. Well - easy to do - but the cats have to be in a quarantine centre, no visitors, for 6 months. Not easy on them.
