Sometimes, after a long winters day of never-ending rain or a sweaty summer commute tucked under a stranger’s armpit, we like to fantasise about upping sticks and moving abroad. And we’re not alone - there are some 1.3million expats from the UK living in Europe alone.

As citizens of the UK, we’re lucky enough to hold passports that will allow us to work in numerous countries across the world. We currently don’t need a visa to work in any EU country (here’s hoping Brexit doesn’t change this) and we can apply for visas to live and work in countries such as Australia, Japan and Canada.

If you do decide to take the plunge and give living in a different country a try, managing your money will obviously be one of your main concerns. Here, Dean Blackburn, Head of HSBC Expat, offers three quick tips to help get you started.
