Hi
I have had no direct experience of this, but my advice is, tread very carefully and find out what you can about the situation from the UK end. We have an excellent tax advisor here in the UK who seems to know his stuff on foreign laws....(or knows someone who does).........however, he is certainly NOT cheap to hire.
It is imperative to be above board with the British authorities on tax and pension matters pre, during, and after living anywhere abroad. Unless you are one of the world's lucky people, and can work out all that is needed by even your own government's legal system.....let alone knowing what foreign requirements are......just hire someone who does. It's money well spent.
I well remember trying to get a visa for a maid.......simple thing to do really........and the rigmarole that I had to go through.......days waiting, forms, double or triple sets of advice..........arrgh!!!!!
Best of luck though.
