New passport holder living outside UK

Dear All,

I was granted British citizenship and received passport in June 2013. A new situation at work meant that I had to migrate to Dubai in July 2013.

I have been back to UK a couple of times since. During my last visit, I had some questions by the immigration officer at the airport about my employer, my intentions of coming back to UK, why I moved etc. Answered them all as it was straightforward and it was fine.

My question now is, Are there any legal requirements for me to be visiting UK within a certain time frame, or, spend a minimum time in the country? The reason for asking is that I intend to continue my current role in Dubai for couple of years.


Any feedback on this will be of great help!

Thanks.

I don't think there are any restrictions now that you are British citizen.

That's a bit odd . Did you actually travel with your british passport? If you are worried about questions , why not using e-borders next time?

there are no restrictions whatsoever on where you can live or how long be gone, in terms of immigration

any questioning may have to do with some new anti-terrorism nonsense,my guess
