Wiz, that is not correct. It may apply in the UK but in many other countries (in the EU and around the world) it does not. This right of abode garbage is just that. A bunch of primadonas on their high horse I suggest. There are ex- pats everywhere in nearly every country I have been to. If you have a qualification the host country wants , then you satisfy the requirement to live and work there. As simple as that. The global village is a small place these days. Lets keep it simple and dismantle these disgusting attitudes toward foreign workers.
