Your Expat Community in the United Kingdom

Embark on Your Life as an Expat in the UK

From the buzzing sprawl of London to the rolling Yorkshire dales, the UK has something to offer everyone. You don't need a piece of the countryside to be able to enjoy it, however; freedom of access means that the most beautiful parts of the country are ring-fenced from builders and open for the public to explore. Here, the best of both worlds is a real possibility. But we're sure you're not just here for the views. The UK has a variety of industries and an economy that is relatively lush in comparison to many other corners of the world. Whatever your skills, employment often comes with training here, so you'll soon feel equipped to contribute to the UK's continued economic recovery.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in United States of America or in the Philippines, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The Network for Like-Minded Expatriates in the UK

InterNations offers a network where you can connect with expat and global minds in a secure environment, both online and offline. Each member goes through a careful approval process, to uphold the high quality of our community. Respect of our principles is key, with trust, politeness, and a welcoming and open-minded attitude the order of the day. This means that you will be able to interact in a friendly and trustworthy environment. All relevant questions are welcome, so fire away on topics as diverse as work permits and where to get the best fish and chips. Our real life events and groups also offer an opportunity for our global community to be a part of your life. From London to Manchester and Birmingham, there will be opportunities to enjoy languages, active hobbies, and cultural enrichment, helping you to feel at home in your existing hobbies, in a brand new land. Our larger social events are a chance to branch out and meet the wider InterNations community — we're a friendly and fascinating bunch!
