Hi,

At some point in the future I would like to move to Sweden with my partner who has a Swedish and British dual citizenship (both currently live in the UK but not at the same address). We have been together for 4 years.

What is the process to making this happen? I have connections to be able to get an Italian passport but the wait time for this is around 4 years (hopefully I will get this before the move to make things easier!)If we wanted to move before this how would it work? I have done research into this but looking at this page there is a lot of conflicting information eg need to be married, need to actually live together before the move, different information on income etc.

Has anyone done this and is it a hard/lengthy process?

Thanks🙏🏼

How I travelled for 4 weeks in Asia for a grand total of £2000 all in! (South Korea, Japan, Philippines, UAE)

1. Flights - my flights in total cost around £700. It is so crucial that you are constantly checking for flight deals. Many people make the mistake of thinking the earlier the better it’s not (in all cases). Sometimes I see flights for thousands of pounds and a few weeks later the same flight just hundreds if you see a really good deal snatch it up!✈️
   This one may not be for everyone… multiple flights. This has probably saved me the most money eg from England it took me 3 flights to get to South Korea but for £200 it’s 100% worth it!

2. Travel agents - I would vary rarely go through a travel agent to get flights, hotels, transfer and some excursions seems like a good deal but much cheaper doing this yourself. Yes it’s extra work but you have more money left in your pocket💰

3. Accommodation - if you’re like me and when you’re abroad you are only using a hotel to sleep it’s just not worth the 5\* hotel. That’s not to say to get a 1\* hotel but this is where I feel people spend an extortionate amount.

4. Luggage. I ordered a bag that meets all of the free under-seat baggage sizes. This may be unrealistic for those who want to have a new outfit everyday but some airlines are charging £50 for a case per flight. I use compression sacks to maximise the space in my bag and trust me you can fit a lot more than you think. I was amazed with how much I got in my bag!

These are definitely my 4 biggest money saving tips for travelling. If you have any questions about the above or something I have not mentioned let me know!

Some snippets of my trip just for reference🩷

Hey! Can anyone help with this?
I’m trying to obtain a dual citizenship GB & Italian.
My nanna was born in 1934 - she was (and still is) an Italian citizen. She moved to the uk in the 50s and has only had a settled status ever since, when she married my English grandfather.
My father was born in 1976 (in the uk) he has not and will not be trying for his Italian citizenship. I want to obtain this to be able to move and work freely in the EU and to have the connection to Italy as all my nannas family still live over there.
I have been trying for a few months to get an appointment through the Manchester consulate as this is my closest one to home but I have had 0 luck so far and have had no appointments available.
I have all of my documents birth certificates, marriage certificates and my nannas Italian ID and passport ready.
Does anybody know the timeline, any tips or information on how long this will take and also the best route?
As I feel I am completely at a stand still and feel I will never obtain it as this point!
Thanks all😊
