    We were seriously considering immigration to uk this year by mid 23, my husband is a business man in Dubai, so he was planning to open operations in London. But we decided against it but mainly looking at the poor conditions of NHS. That’s our biggest concern since we have permanent health conditions. On my holiday to uk last year I paid over 1k pounds to see a pvt doctor because nhs er had a long wait and my condition was serious. We booked a pvt appointment, paid up and got attention. It was eye opening but made us decide not to move. I feel so sorry for NHS. Dubai for us is great so far… maybe our kids will go to study in uk.

    I have been living in London since last 5 years now and I see my friends in India doing really well in their careers and saving more money (in INR considering purchase power parity) now. So would be good to stay in India for the next 5 years at least.

      Salaries in UK are not very attractive. Moreover, India's economy is growing much faster (fastest growing major economy in the world) while UK is in recession. So if one has a good education and a good career in India, he/she grows much faster. At upper levels there is parity in salary. After all a person's salary depends on merit and capability, not location. Why should a person in London be paid more than a person in Bangalore, if they are doing the same work?

    Thank you for this video and for sharing your perspective of living or moving to London/UK. It is always nice to get first-hand opinion of someone residing in the place for years as they will be able to see the trend and give a better advice. I lived in the UAE for 20 years. However, the past 4 years I am in Chennai and settled in well. I think people can experience a very good lifestyle in India itself at a much lesser cost, there is no need to go to any other country. Many years back, the situation was different. In my opinion, it did make sense to migrate to another country a few years back, not now.

    Very informative vlog... But as you rightly said Santosh people who are highly qualified can come to the UK... But that's the same situation everywhere , if your monthly income is good u can stay anywhere... Whether it's India or any other foreign country... Cost of living has increased through out the world... People travel abroad thinking about a good future so expenses play a very vital role.... That's why we tell our children to study and become professionals as there's so much competition in any field.... Good luck to the younger generation and God bless all of us.... 🙏

    I’m a nurse working in Oxford. The cost of living in Oxford is almost the same as London. In terms of nursing, I feel if nurses in India are working in government hospitals, it’s better to stay there . But the private hospitals don’t pay nurses much. Hence working in UK would be better.

    This video was informative but at the same time as you mentioned it depends on what kind of life style you have . I can’t agree with minimum of 4000 required to live comfortably in London or near to London as you said . As I know lots of people who are making 45000 per annum living with two kids comfortably . This kind of videos might scare people who are moving to UK so your word of caution is appreciated about the life style aspect. Shopping at Lidl and Aldi might save more than shopping at M &S or even sainsbury . India also is changing a recent visit there it was shocking to see the cost of living going considerably high .

    I live in London and my utility bill including charging my car comes to only 120 pounds per month. Milk in UK is cheaper than in India. Even if you go for Duchy organic milk, comes to less than a pound per litre. I know several families living at less than 3000 pounds per month in London.

    Thanks for sharing your honest opinion. I moved to UK twenty years back and my observation is very much same as you have shared.
    Thanks for sharing your experience of life in UK and concerns about future. I agree with all the points you mentioned. I would like to add few more.
    1. Tax structure is crazy here. To fool everyone its listed as 45% Income Tax, but real tax is marginal tax which is more then 60% of your income (on any decent salary), for high earners it can be as high as 85%. For example NI (National Insurance deduction) is nothing but a tax on income. Most Indians confuse NI with PF (provided Fund), but in reality they are totally different.
    2. UK is rapidly degrading country. All aspects of human and social indicators are on downwards trajectory.
    3. There is no future for UK. Data from last few decades clearly shows that UK is going down hill at very steady pace. Current and potential future government policies are strictly discouraging any growth what so ever.
    4. There had been no wage growth in last twenty years. As a result of this stagnation, the living standards of ordinary citizens had taken a hard beating.
    5. When you move to a country you have to take long term vision for that country.

    This list is quite long and alarming

    India is growing but normal middle class person is not growing. Very high competition and very few jobs in comparison to population. High volume of unemployment. And inflation is high in india also. Both private and government sector, to find an average job is difficult. But in UK jobs are there if one have right skill set. Children’s education is totally free but in India education mainly school and coaching fees are the big expense in every household.

I moved out from London a year ago and trust me if rent is cheaper than other things are quite high. Rent difference 500£ for 3 bed house par baki cheezay like hair cutting, manicure or waxing they all are pretty expensive. We didn't feel much difference since we moved here in our overall budget

    I am coming to London for a week. What would be the best things to buy from UK.
    I will be buying some hand lotions and shower gel as I love those ( Ted Baker brand ) . Do you suggest any particular brand or any other product that I can buy.
    Most people want to move abroad is not just for money but lifestyle. Like clean roads, nature, if they have kids then give them a good education and opportunities , British accent, shopping and exposure to so many things. And get away from dust, pollution, crowded cities, corrupt politicians electricity load sharing etc in india. They are trying to escape that.

    To expand on the point regarding coming here as students and trying to find a job to settle in the UK has its own strings attached which you need to full research from www.gov.uk. But in a nutshell, the job should meet the skilled worker visa criteria and you will need to be working for a UK approved employer who has the ability to sponsor your change of student visa to a skilled worker visa once you have completed your studies. This isnt quite as straight forward always as one would hope so pls do you research before coming here as a student with hopes to settle. Dont ever attempt to get a student visa and not attend your classes and find a job to settle as that will be breaking laws which will result in dire consequences as so many Indian students have found.
