How to move to SCOTLAND / UK from US and the world - a guide!

We've worked on this for many weeks (delving deep into the governmental websites hasn't been FUN) and we're super hopeful this simplified intro guide to what options there are when considering a move to the UK will help some of you! We'll be covering student visa, work visa, spousal and ancestral visa and of course even just your garden variety traveller visa - you might be surprised about its generosity! We will also touch on what NOT to do when applying for a visa, and how to get yourself on track towards a citizenship if that's something you're dreaming of. Last but not least, tips from people with real life visa application experience!
