Massive respect to you brother. Its a decision so many of us think about all the time but we lack the courage and bravery to make the step. I see so many similarities in our circumstances. Wish you and family all the best with settling in Pakistan. Keep posting your videos, they are very helpful 😊👍
Thank you very much for your appreciation Haider. Like you said this is on the subconcial agenda for most Overseas Pakistanis who are in the same boat as you and me...when the time comes then the decision becomes easier. Many Thanks 👍👍
Respect for u brother ❤️ bht dil khush hogya video dekh kr ! Allah apki ammi ko salamat rakhe aap logo ke sath ! Aur idhr settle hone ma madad kre ! Best wishes 😊
Thanks Brother. Yes personally for me there wasn't a need to remain in the UK anymore ( given the flexible remote working option) and the kids can pursue higher education from UK if they wish to do so when they grow up...I did the same and did well I believe.
I was born in uk.. I have noticed that oyr people are losing religion, language and culture.. Insha Allah i am moving back home.. Religion for me is important.
Rehan Riaz And people in pakistan aren't losing their religion? May be go and have a look at how wide spread two of the major sins are in pakistan black magic and shirk. Lets not even start on the issue of how wide spread peadophillia is in pakistan.
@@AliAzharReal Ive been to pakistan ive seen it first hand how wide spread sihr has become. As for the pedophilia I know plenty of pakistanis who were abused as chilren. Try opening your eyes and seeing whats actualy going on in pakistan. Instead of denying the reality go and do something to change it.

Great content man. Would be good to hear top5 great things/experiences with you in Pakistan and top 5 not so good experiences since arriving in pakistan. Like for example paying bills, traffic, load shedding e.t.c. would be good to see some dedicated content on that when you get some time. Thanks. And happy Independence day.
Many thanks Hassan for your detailed video around my questions, I really appreciate that. I myself can relate/better understand many things/aspects by living here in London. As said earlier, it’s really a great and brave decision and InshaAllah all will work well for you and family there. Aameen. As mentioned in my last comment, me and family live here in London so please feel free to reach us anytime if you need any kind of support back here in the UK.
Thanks a lot man. Really appreciate your support. Yup once you have lived overaeas can you really appreciate where i am coming from..lets keep in touch via this forum
The reality here in the uk as of September 2023 is that buying a house at current prices is fast getting out of reach for most average working class people. Those who are renting cant save enough quick enough. On top of that gas, electric and grocery prices are very high so for most people its a case of living pay to pay without really being able to save anything. If in pakistan you have some land and a house then thats a better start than most. For all its negatives, no rent/mortgage, no council tax, better weather, culture, religion are still a lot of positives.
Slam bahi very nice video my duas are with u may Allah Pak shower his mercy upon u and never get u to the point where u think it’s wrong decision. All the best please do make few video with your family Everyone says and think moving back but no one had a heart to take a such a big decision So hats off stay strong and stay positive Allah Pak protect u and your family from all the evil eyes.ameen sum ameen
Yes she is...led from the front guiding her siblings and then the same when it came to her kids..actually all mothers have this potential..for some it surfaces circumstantially. Many Thanks
I was born in Lahore 1968 and moved to the UK in 1969 with family... 56 years down the line and I'm seriously considering a move back, Islamabad in specific.
Wonderful …I too am planning to relocate basically to be there for my elderly mum and my autistic brother. They can’t move to the UK, easier for me to move to Pakistan. What the job scene like in Pakistan? Still sifarish and contacts required??
If you have years of work experience, then UAE (Dubai/Abu Dhabi) is a far better option than the UK. It's at the doorstep of Pakistan. And there's so much luxury and good life in the UAE
V nice may Allah bless and help you more aameen . With time a person has to take decision in life There is no country like Pakistan because it is our home land Problems are all around the world One should have capacity to manage them . Good luck and stay blessed and safe aameen
Its different wen ur a pakistani who came to the UK rather than being born in the UK, both situations are so so different For us who were born here , coming to live in Pakistan isn't so simple.
Absolutely agreed...for those who are born and raised there ( especially with extended families) are much better off socially...and for you guys coming and settling in Pakistan 1) warrants a very telling reason 2) more difficult given the difference in day to day quality of life...hence the reason for quantemplating relocation becomes ever so important 👍👍
@@hassanrafique thank u for the reply but saying that, my husband and I are older now with adult kids and we intend to live in Pakistan We don't hav alot of the worries of younger families like yourself and we hav a small home in lahore ♥
@@0oldisbest that is actually a better situation then..for us the second option would have been similiar to yours..i.e. wait for kids to grow up and independant before relocating..but personally for me it was not ideal..all the very best with your relocation 👍👍
Thanks for your support Brother 👍. I would recommend that you do some cost benefit analysis and then take it from there...I would advise you against moving if you are 50 - 50... better to get to the stage when you have higher inclination towards moving vs staying...if you want to chat we can have a syncup on LinkedIn too www.linkedin.com/in/syed-hassan-usman-rafique-228021104. Many Thanks 👍
You made a very right decsion. Brother I am working in UCL as Data Manager and I came in 2019 and the situation I packed my stuff and very soon return to Pakistan forever. If I shared my experience, l don't like London Life. Here in London every single person is running after the Pounds, no social life at all. British Airways sy Araha houn... It would be great if you share some tips. Take Care.
Thanks for your support Afreen. My video on BA experience when relocating would be helpful to you. Basically maximize your cargo and just take what you can manage in hand luggage. All the very best to you with the relocation Brother 👍
Am in my mid 20s , Infact I can move to west but am planning to go to GCC . After working for 10 - 15 years with good financial I will definitely come back to my homeland ❤❤❤ Apna mulk apna huta akhir
Thanks for your video Hassan! I am moving from overseas to Isb mid of next year. I am also out of country from last 20 years. Luckily my wife and I are on the same page when it comes to moving back. I am also in IT but at infra side and have similar plans of talking to my management of similar arrangements. But regardless of the outcome I will be back by mid of next year In Sha Allah. Obviously, things have changed in 15 years but how is your experience so far of the country? i.e. People/weather/facilities while living in Bahria. My opinion is that having a decent source of income in Pakistan life should be more enjoyable and satisfying. Let me know of your thoughts.
Thanks for your comment and support Ehsan. You are spot on when it comes to correlation with financial breathing space and enjoyable life in Pakistan. I will make a video sharing our experiences so far ..many people are curious about this aspect..i will connect with you on LinkedIn. Many Thanks and all the best with the move (feel free to ask any more questions that you may have). 👍
Brother I have noticed that your breath is getting short in such slow walk pace. Please look after your health , may Allah bless you . Thanks for the video
My whole family is in pak and my mother is here withme and she is going thru depression And now am thinking to move pak coz of her My mother is british national too As i am lawyer i managed to make her brit too
I think it's easier for those who are originally from Pakistani cities as opposed to village or British born, do you think you would have been able to move back if your wife was British born?
Salam, Agree with you ( and have mentioned it many times during discussions in comments) that it is much more difficult for people who are born and raised abroad to make this move...to answer your question about moving had my wife been Born and Raised in the UK: honestly it would have been close to impossible, unless she herself would have been willing to move whole heartedly...I have seen many people who go abroad to join their partners ultimately face this dilema say 10 years down the line...Many Thanks for your comment 👍
Things have changed for the worst in our country. I don't know about the past. But right now it is not possible to stay in Pakistan. Inflation, law and order and even family relations all are on a downward slope. Every man is for him/herself and beyond selfish. There is no social security whatsoever. If you belong from a powerful family (Army, Government officer, Politician or a rich businessmen) then stay in Pak. Otherwise leave on the earliest moment for your own good.
Salam bro, I am in a similar situation to yours. I am also planning to go back to Islamabad. I am based in Manchester. How did you convince your employer to let you work from Pakistan through Umbrella company? Also, with it being an umbrella company, are you using an accountant here in the UK to do all your tax calculations? Wish you all the best.
Hi Zohaib I discussed the need with my boss first. The umbrella arramgement just followed after that once HR looked into it. Once you work via and umbrella then you become pkr resident for tax purposes. If you have a property in the UK that you rent out then for that you need to do an HMRC self return in the UK ( you still get the £12500 tax free allowance). Let me know if you have more questions Bro. Thanks
Say if i left the uk, and took about £50k to move to pk, would it be enough? considering i have a house in the village with a well in the garden and small amount of land to grow crops or keep animals. £50k would be 20,000,000 rupees. Is that 200 lakhs?
That is a significant amount, however any amount will eventually run out so you would need to think about sustainability in the form of some business which can provide for your stay here
@hassanrafique I appreciate that. Personally I would set up solar panels, thats the electricity issue sorted. I would cook on wooden fires and use gas as a luxury. I'm happy to live the simplest of lives whilst thinking of the 50 to 60 hours graft every week in the uk for the last 20 years. I'd hope to set up 2 small businesses that cover the day to day living expenses. Now its a case of trying to convince the wife and kids. Strangely enough, many people in the uk frown upon emigrating to pakistan. People look at me like I've lost my mind without realising this isn't the uk of 20 years ago.
@@arcticmonkey4326 yes, as long as you have a plan and an exit strategy ( in case things don't work out) then it is better to test the water and take it from there 👍
Thanks for the comment. Like I said it was a sequence of events, preemption and my subcontial motovation that led to this calculated move..I completely understand why it is not easy...
@@hassanrafique i think it is a positive move. You have had the courage to make this call. I salute your bravery bro. are you in ISM?. I am based in Leeds
A/s bro and Ramzan Mubarak to you and your family. Can you please do a video showing us the area where you live please - we couldn’t see much in this vlog thanks
Hi Hassan, just watching your videos and had one question if you can answer please. Did you consider moving to UAE instead of Pak as there you can potentially bring your parents to live with you? Can you please provide insights on the decision between moving back to Pak vs UAE?
Hi Waqas We did have the thought of doing a two step relocation...get a job and spend a couple of years in UAE (save up some money) and then move to Pakistan and consider starting some business using the money saved. We did not know about the parent laws you mentioned. But then when I asked my company regarding remote working ..the plan worked and we decided to go directly. I have been to UAE once (to visit relatives and sister).. personally it was like a modern Pakistan...but I felt that most of the year there isn't much of an outdoor life due to the heat..but then again one can argue that we spend most time indoors anyways...so really I think it is a decision made on a case by case basis... opportunity wise if you get a job there on a foreign(western) passport, I hear, that the salary is double the amount they give to say someone with a Pakistani passport. Also skill matching is another thing...e.g. HR , mechanical, chemical, civil and petroleum jobs may be more common place then electronic, telecom, software jobs...so all these factors would also play a role. I hope this info will be helpful. Many Thanks for watching 👍
@@hassanrafique That's very helpful and all valid points. Thanks! You are Mashallah very lucky in terms of your company allowing you to work from Pak. I asked my company to let me work 1 week from Pak over Christmas and they refused 😅
@@Waqas-Umer yeah I can understand..it depends on various factors like I was insinuating in my video..like company size, your role/relationship/experience at the company etc...I would say gradually shift to free lancing if you can while you work to get a client base..once you get citizenship (if you haven't yet) then you can think about relocation you know while delivering to the same clientage...👍
Good decision, I am also looking to get into UK in last quarter of 2022. Currently working as electrical engineer in Qatar. What you suggest job salaries are good enough to go to UK fo job? Looking for your kind advise?
Thanks for your support 👍. I would imagine if you are already employed as and electrical engineer in Qatar you probably would be saving more...UK in general is an expensive country to live in with family... however there are other things like environment and quality of living that may be attractive.. ofcourse I would say that you do some job research before concluding... there are now new routes of entry available after Brexit.
Mujeeb raza yes pay is good for electric engineer i can send u some job links so u can check and uk is far better than qatar Uk mai muslims community h or acha mahool h masjids b bht h
Aslamalikum bhai... These are very informative videos, thank you for producing. Me and my wife have turned 40 this year and are in the same dilemma on whether to move to Pakistan. We are both British born and we just feel our children will miss out on our culture that we experienced through our parents.
Walakumasalam and Thanks for your appreciation. I understand what you mean. I think in your case a temporary move for 2 to 3 years may make more sense...that way they will get oriented too (in case you have friends and family in the UK and would like to return..) 👍👍. You would need to have a financial plan and some sort of exit strategy too. Let me know if you have any questions regarding relocation..will be more than happy to guide you 👍
@@hassanrafique thank you, that is very kind and generous of you. Location wise I think the main societies in ISB suit us. I totally agree with the exit strategy and alhumdulilah we property to fall back on should we decide to migrate back. I think we are ready mentally it's just whether our business model would work in ISB....thats the risk.
Ghar chota ho tu heating may aasani hoti hay. Pakistan may ghar baray hain kunkah hawa ka guzar zaroori hay summers jaisay hot weather may. UK kay ghar baray hon tu hawa aur thand say sab mar jaein. Housing in each country is according to the prevailing weather conditions. Logic samjh kay geo!

Do you need a Visa for a long term stay or on a British passport and overseas Pakistani I'd card does the job? How well are minorities willing to live and seen in Pakistan?
@@hassanrafique so no need to have an extra Visa to live in Pakistan? Yes it does depend on the areas for minority clashes, like in the UK everyone sticks to their religious mindset rather than being pushed by the locals with guilty conscience. Whats are the best to (English standards) place to live in quietness and safety other than DHA and Bharia, that you highlight. And if your UK license is acceptable?
@@nathanajaved3652 if one has an ID card then they do not need separate visa... license wise UK license is valid for 6 months after which one can apply for international license...but it isn't enforced strictly here plus the law isn't very clear on how long you can use your UK license for...area wise, the bigger cities are fine in general
Assalam O Alaikum, I went to UK for my studies but I couldn't live there, I haven't live without my parents in my entire Life. I used to cry everyday now I'm in Pakistan and I want to go to Uk again please do let me know how can I avoid homesickness, I really want to get a degree from UK.
Salam @ESSA KHAWAJA, When I went to GIKI as an 18 year old, I also missed my family and home town. Nostalgia was at its peak but I countered that by always visiting home during weekends ( at times taking an early class with the other section on Thursday if on Friday we only had a single period for that class)..point being that I fought the nostalgia head on and was able to do very well in my studies, enjoy uni and stay in touch back home. Now lets talk about UK...first try and write on a piece of paper...the things in UK that made the nostalgia worst and what can you do to avoid those...secondly look at the bigger picture...do you want to pursue a career in the UK after you get the degree or you want to come back immediately? If the answer is the latter and it is an MSc...then 1 year will pass like a breeze ( plus if you can afford it you can come back after 1 term for 3 weeks for a refresher)... If it is an undergraduate degree...then again based on affordability...you can visit between terms so that nostalgia remains minimum and you are never away from home for more than 4 months.. If you are looking for a career in the UK...then I would advise getting married soon after you graduate and have a job...starting your family will really help you with this.. Finally...if it is an undergrad you want to pursue...then I would think it will be better to do an undergraduate degree here and then go to the UK for an MSc ( the degree will have more weightage...you will have to spend less time in your studies..so you can find a job and get married soon after)..if you need more advice please feel free to get in touch with me on LinkedIn and we will take it from there...some how you struck a personal note with me and I feel like I am advising my younger brother...Just Remember ..LIFE IS BIGGER THAN THESE THINGS SO NEVER LET ANYTHING DRAG YOU DOWN!!!

Coming from the UK doesn't mean you should forget who you are I'm a born and raised londoner but I always start with Assalam alaikum I don't know why Pakistanis are so insecure that they disrespect their own religion and roots Hi guys ? What kind of a greeting is that from a Muslim??
If you are raised in UK you should be well aware of the fact that you're not suppose to shame someone for their accent or the way they talk so your comment is pretty useless to me.

Walaikumasalam Brother, in general these two factors ultimately are a subset of cultural integration and acceptance...so in a way it may be an important factor for families...certainly i have asked myself some of these questions when i was in the UK...but then again there are Muslim families in the UK living their lives happily and in compliance with Islamic laws...so ultimately it is down to individual circumstances and priorities Brother..hope it helps 👍

Thanks for your comment 🙂. Jab tak the pull of Pakistan is alive I will be able to overlook the issues lekin haan agar woh pull khattam ho jayay tau problem ho sakti hay
Salam..first step analyse your situation and decide if you are ready or not..e.g. do you have any project like citizenship just round the corner etc. Once you know that now there is no reason for you to remain overaeas then comes the second step of planning the move..here financial providence becomes the number 1 question:are you going to save up and then come to Pakistan on a trial basis for a year or so while you setup a business or look for a job?if so then calculate the amount of money you would need and plan for your family too if you have one. Second option is to discuss with your current employer and see if they are willing to let you work 100%remotely from pakistan(it is worth trying..post covid world favours this kind of arrangement)..let me know about your specific circumstances and I will advise more pertinently..Many Thanks

Thanks for your appreciation too 👍
Great content man. Would be good to hear top5 great things/experiences with you in Pakistan and top 5 not so good experiences since arriving in pakistan. Like for example paying bills, traffic, load shedding e.t.c. would be good to see some dedicated content on that when you get some time. Thanks. And happy Independence day.
Thanks Masood. Really appreciate your support and suggestions. You always provide good topics to ponder. Will make something on this topic 👍👍
MASHALLAH May Allah Bless you and family , make this journey easy and successful for you
Thanks for your appreciation and support 👍👍
Many thanks Hassan for your detailed video around my questions, I really appreciate that. I myself can relate/better understand many things/aspects by living here in London.
As said earlier, it’s really a great and brave decision and InshaAllah all will work well for you and family there. Aameen.
As mentioned in my last comment, me and family live here in London so please feel free to reach us anytime if you need any kind of support back here in the UK.
Thanks a lot man. Really appreciate your support. Yup once you have lived overaeas can you really appreciate where i am coming from..lets keep in touch via this forum
The reality here in the uk as of September 2023 is that buying a house at current prices is fast getting out of reach for most average working class people. Those who are renting cant save enough quick enough. On top of that gas, electric and grocery prices are very high so for most people its a case of living pay to pay without really being able to save anything. If in pakistan you have some land and a house then thats a better start than most. For all its negatives, no rent/mortgage, no council tax, better weather, culture, religion are still a lot of positives.
Slam bahi very nice video my duas are with u may Allah Pak shower his mercy upon u and never get u to the point where u think it’s wrong decision.
All the best please do make few video with your family
Everyone says and think moving back but no one had a heart to take a such a big decision
So hats off stay strong and stay positive
Allah Pak protect u and your family from all the evil eyes.ameen sum ameen
Thanks for your kind words sister. I really appreciate it. Sure, would do so. Thanks
Ma ki dua eh - your mum sounds like an amazing person
Yes she is...led from the front guiding her siblings and then the same when it came to her kids..actually all mothers have this potential..for some it surfaces circumstantially. Many Thanks
Whose mother isn’t an amazing person?

Wonderful …I too am planning to relocate basically to be there for my elderly mum and my autistic brother. They can’t move to the UK, easier for me to move to Pakistan.

If you have years of work experience, then UAE (Dubai/Abu Dhabi) is a far better option than the UK. It's at the doorstep of Pakistan. And there's so much luxury and good life in the UAE
Haan..i visited uae once
.closer in culture to Pk no doubt but indoor life can be challenging..
Lifestyle better in Pakistan, Dubai is very artificial and can be narcissistic.

Its different wen ur a pakistani who came to the UK rather than being born in the UK, both situations are so so different
For us who were born here , coming to live in Pakistan isn't so simple.
Absolutely agreed...for those who are born and raised there ( especially with extended families) are much better off socially...and for you guys coming and settling in Pakistan 1) warrants a very telling reason
2) more difficult given the difference in day to day quality of life...hence the reason for quantemplating relocation becomes ever so important 👍👍

Obviously, things have changed in 15 years but how is your experience so far of the country? i.e. People/weather/facilities while living in Bahria. My opinion is that having a decent source of income in Pakistan life should be more enjoyable and satisfying. Let me know of your thoughts.
Thanks for your comment and support Ehsan. You are spot on when it comes to correlation with financial breathing space and enjoyable life in Pakistan.

Thanks for sharing such beneficial information.
You are welcome. Thanks for your appreciation 👍
I think it's easier for those who are originally from Pakistani cities as opposed to village or British born, do you think you would have been able to move back if your wife was British born?
Salam,
Agree with you ( and have mentioned it many times during discussions in comments) that it is much more difficult for people who are born and raised abroad to make this move...to answer your question about moving had my wife been Born and Raised in the UK: honestly it would have been close to impossible, unless she herself would have been willing to move whole heartedly...I have seen many people who go abroad to join their partners ultimately face this dilema say 10 years down the line...Many Thanks for your comment 👍
Things have changed for the worst in our country. I don't know about the past. But right now it is not possible to stay in Pakistan. Inflation, law and order and even family relations all are on a downward slope. Every man is for him/herself and beyond selfish. There is no social security whatsoever. If you belong from a powerful family (Army, Government officer, Politician or a rich businessmen) then stay in Pak. Otherwise leave on the earliest moment for your own good.
Salam bro, I am in a similar situation to yours. I am also planning to go back to Islamabad. I am based in Manchester. How did you convince your employer to let you work from Pakistan through Umbrella company? Also, with it being an umbrella company, are you using an accountant here in the UK to do all your tax calculations? Wish you all the best.
Hi Zohaib
I discussed the need with my boss first. The umbrella arramgement just followed after that once HR looked into it. Once you work via and umbrella then you become pkr resident for tax purposes. If you have a property in the UK that you rent out then for that you need to do an HMRC self return in the UK ( you still get the £12500 tax free allowance).
Let me know if you have more questions Bro.
Thanks
@@hassanrafique thanks for your reply, Hassan bhai. I have seen your other videos which have made this very clear for me.
@@zohaib.qureshi really glad that they helped you 👍Thanks
This VDO is 1year old , what about nowadays circumstances when everybody is ready to move abroad ??
Certainly the outlook is different at the moment...but it really depends on one's circumstances and aims...I just hope that things stablize soon 👍
@@hassanrafique ameen
Say if i left the uk, and took about £50k to move to pk, would it be enough? considering i have a house in the village with a well in the garden and small amount of land to grow crops or keep animals. £50k would be 20,000,000 rupees. Is that 200 lakhs?
That is a significant amount, however any amount will eventually run out so you would need to think about sustainability in the form of some business which can provide for your stay here
@hassanrafique I appreciate that. Personally I would set up solar panels, thats the electricity issue sorted. I would cook on wooden fires and use gas as a luxury. I'm happy to live the simplest of lives whilst thinking of the 50 to 60 hours graft every week in the uk for the last 20 years. I'd hope to set up 2 small businesses that cover the day to day living expenses. Now its a case of trying to convince the wife and kids. Strangely enough, many people in the uk frown upon emigrating to pakistan. People look at me like I've lost my mind without realising this isn't the uk of 20 years ago.
@@arcticmonkey4326 yes, as long as you have a plan and an exit strategy ( in case things don't work out) then it is better to test the water and take it from there 👍
Lot of times we need to make a strong will to settle in Pakistan for me if you have strong reglious values it makes it easier

Ramzan Mubarik to you too. Sure I still havent yet explored it but can plan something along those lines.Thanks
Hi Hassan, just watching your videos and had one question if you can answer please. Did you consider moving to UAE instead of Pak as there you can potentially bring your parents to live with you? Can you please provide insights on the decision between moving back to Pak vs UAE?
Hi Waqas
We did have the thought of doing a two step relocation...get a job and spend a couple of years in UAE (save up some money) and then move to Pakistan and consider starting some business using the money saved. We did not know about the parent laws you mentioned. But then when I asked my company regarding remote working ..the plan worked and we decided to go directly. I have been to UAE once (to visit relatives and sister).. personally it was like a modern Pakistan...but I felt that most of the year there isn't much of an outdoor life due to the heat..but then again one can argue that we spend most time indoors anyways...so really I think it is a decision made on a case by case basis... opportunity wise if you get a job there on a foreign(western) passport, I hear, that the salary is double the amount they give to say someone with a Pakistani passport. Also skill matching is another thing...e.g. HR , mechanical, chemical, civil and petroleum jobs may be more common place then electronic, telecom, software jobs...so all these factors would also play a role. I hope this info will be helpful.
Many Thanks for watching 👍
@@hassanrafique That's very helpful and all valid points. Thanks! You are Mashallah very lucky in terms of your company allowing you to work from Pak. I asked my company to let me work 1 week from Pak over Christmas and they refused 😅
@@Waqas-Umer yeah I can understand..it depends on various factors like I was insinuating in my video..like company size, your role/relationship/experience at the company etc...I would say gradually shift to free lancing if you can while you work to get a client base..once you get citizenship (if you haven't yet) then you can think about relocation you know while delivering to the same clientage...👍
Good decision, I am also looking to get into UK in last quarter of 2022. Currently working as electrical engineer in Qatar. What you suggest job salaries are good enough to go to UK fo job?
Looking for your kind advise?
Thanks for your support 👍. I would imagine if you are already employed as and electrical engineer in Qatar you probably would be saving more...UK in general is an expensive country to live in with family... however there are other things like environment and quality of living that may be attractive.. ofcourse I would say that you do some job research before concluding... there are now new routes of entry available after Brexit.
Mujeeb raza yes pay is good for electric engineer i can send u some job links so u can check and uk is far better than qatar

Walakumasalam and Thanks for your appreciation. I understand what you mean. I think in your case a temporary move for 2 to 3 years may make more sense...that way they will get oriented too (in case you have friends and family in the UK and would like to return..) 👍👍. You would need to have a financial plan and some sort of exit strategy too. Let me know if you have any questions regarding relocation..will be more than happy to guide you 👍
@@hassanrafique thank you, that is very kind and generous of you. Location wise I think the main societies in ISB suit us. I totally agree with the exit strategy and alhumdulilah we property to fall back on should we decide to migrate back. I think we are ready mentally it's just whether our business model would work in ISB....thats the risk.
@@aquarius786 sounds like a plan. You can possibly visit your self beforehand my and maybe get an idea?

Do you need a Visa for a long term stay or on a British passport and overseas Pakistani I'd card does the job? How well are minorities willing to live and seen in Pakistan?
ID card does the job. Minorities mostly live in peace with the majority. There are of course some backward areas where things may be different.
@@hassanrafique so no need to have an extra Visa to live in Pakistan? Yes it does depend on the areas for minority clashes, like in the UK everyone sticks to their religious mindset rather than being pushed by the locals with guilty conscience. Whats are the best to (English standards) place to live in quietness and safety other than DHA and Bharia, that you highlight. And if your UK license is acceptable?
@@nathanajaved3652 if one has an ID card then they do not need separate visa... license wise UK license is valid for 6 months after which one can apply for international license...but it isn't enforced strictly here plus the law isn't very clear on how long you can use your UK license for...area wise, the bigger cities are fine in general

I went to UK for my studies but I couldn't live there, I haven't live without my parents in my entire Life. I used to cry everyday now I'm in Pakistan and I want to go to Uk again please do let me know how can I avoid homesickness, I really want to get a degree from UK.
Salam @ESSA KHAWAJA,
When I went to GIKI as an 18 year old, I also missed my family and home town. Nostalgia was at its peak but I countered that by always visiting home during weekends ( at times taking an early class with the other section on Thursday if on Friday we only had a single period for that class)..point being that I fought the nostalgia head on and was able to do very well in my studies, enjoy uni and stay in touch back home.
Now lets talk about UK...first try and write on a piece of paper...the things in UK that made the nostalgia worst and what can you do to avoid those...secondly look at the bigger picture...do you want to pursue a career in the UK after you get the degree or you want to come back immediately? If the answer is the latter and it is an MSc...then 1 year will pass like a breeze ( plus if you can afford it you can come back after 1 term for 3 weeks for a refresher)...
If it is an undergraduate degree...then again based on affordability...you can visit between terms so that nostalgia remains minimum and you are never away from home for more than 4 months..
If you are looking for a career in the UK...then I would advise getting married soon after you graduate and have a job...starting your family will really help you with this..
Finally...if it is an undergrad you want to pursue...then I would think it will be better to do an undergraduate degree here and then go to the UK for an MSc ( the degree will have more weightage...you will have to spend less time in your studies..so you can find a job and get married soon after)..if you need more advice please feel free to get in touch with me on LinkedIn and we will take it from there...some how you struck a personal note with me and I feel like I am advising my younger brother...Just Remember ..LIFE IS BIGGER THAN THESE THINGS SO NEVER LET ANYTHING DRAG YOU DOWN!!!

Second option is to discuss with your current employer and see if they are willing to let you work 100%remotely from pakistan(it is worth trying..post covid world favours this kind of arrangement)..let me know about your specific circumstances and I will advise more pertinently..Many Thanks

@@hassanrafique but if someone living in uk.for more than 10 years and citizenship will take more than 10 years and they want to move back wht they should do cuz it's tough decision when kids with you and born in uk.
@@AbdulHadi-wy4eu indeed it is tough if kids grow up...maybe take them on board and make more frequent visits and then see if they like it here or not?
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Bhai aap wapis hu aye ?? Plzz bata du
Main ne video main explain kar k bataya hay aap ko :)
What do you do for living?
I am an algorithms engineer currently. Background is electronics engineering BS and MSc in telecoms and DSP
@@hassanrafique how many years do you have to study for this? I am looking for a remote and trying to find out the required qualifications, any tips on what to study to do a similar IT role to yours?
@@islaam247 it depends on what background you already have in the field...if you start from scratch then the learning curve would be much steeper. It would be good to start with some online courses and see how you feel...if you can grasp the concepts then you can get up to speed in say a year by working on a hobby project... otherwise it will take longer...👍👍
@@hassanrafique I have completed level 2 aat accounting and was planning to do level 3 this year but want to change to an it/ programming related so I can find a job remotely, where do you recommend I start?
@@islaam247 on paper one should start from Basic C...however these days other languages are also in quite a bit of demand...i think an overview of web development vs Mobile App development would be useful to get a feeling of which one interests you more....then decide if you would want to do front end development (more on how UI looks and interacts with User) vs Backend development (more manipulation of data)...but start with some overviews.. LinkedIn learning is a good starting point and so is RUclips 👍👍
England ab mustaqil rehnay ke qabil Nahi raha. Yaha Bas taxi takeaway grocery shop ya hairdresser ka kaam bacha hai Pakistanio kailiay. Yeh Sab apnay mulk mei bhi hosakta hai. England ka 3rd class citizen ban nay se Acha jai Banda Pakistan mei 1st class citizen ban kar rahay. England mei bachay Badtameez bantay hain.
Mujhay bhi Brexit k baad negative vibes ana shuru ho gayee thee especially if you live in an area jahan Asian population kam ho...
@@hassanrafique Sab se bara masla Yaha aulaad bigar rahi hai logo ki. Badtamiz Banti jarahi hai, Sara din goro kalo mei rehtay hain jinko khud tameez Nahi hai. Bacho ko Apna naam tak Urdu mei likhna Nahi aata. Yaha mustaqil rehna apni nasl tabah karnay ke Brabar hai.
Achi baat Kay bad tameez parents Kay sath bachay bhi batmeez ban jatay hay
England mai rehna h tu Leicester bolton blackburn mai raho ye cities mai pure islamic environment h

Sir, say whatever you want to say, it doesnt matter...you wont understand why do we make decision of coming back to pakistan...InshaAllah it will be the right decision as children are very young so still adaptive and if finances are straighten and well planned....it will be fine and dandy...
It's easy to take decisions when u have citizenship but its very hard to decide when you not have citizenship and you leave permanently and you don't have option tu go back if you not settle or kids not settle in pak I am very confused plz reply
Plz sitdown relax when ever you want to upload a video
This was three years ago Brother 🙂, nowadays I do what you suggest 👍
@@hassanrafique i have EU documents ..i canceld my flight..and i dont want to leave my pakistan
@@AbKhan-dm2ji I appreciate your love for Pakistan. Did you use to live there and came back?
@@hassanrafique i went EU in 2008...after bieng there more than 14 years ..now i came to a point that leaving Pakistan was my blunder...i stopped my study bcoz i was dreaming for EU life...its better to have a life in thar desert (registan) than EU beautifull countries...i am with my kida mother and father..
@@AbKhan-dm2ji are you still in EU or back in Pakistan?

Hassan yad rakhna, its ur wrong decision , one day u hav to go back , yad rakhna mery ilfaaaz Hassan, aap ko jana hu ga wapis
Bro, the only way to find out is to try..:)
Dude, i think we should hope for the best for everyone. You could support him in his decision and pray for so many others like him who want to relocate. It is risky, i agree. But we should not demoralise the person with such comments. Nothing is for certain, so lets hope for the best.
wao 🤣
