Transitioning to Scotland

You will need a visa the best advice is to contact a specialist agency. renting a property with a large dog wont be easy but not impossible. look at your move. good luck

    Hey, my name is Angel and I am HOPING to move from the U.S. to Scotland. I’d love to permanently move there, but I’m unsure as to whether I need a visa, if I do, what kind of visa. How do I find/tour/rent a place since I’m here in the U.S. And to top it off, I have a large dog-is there information on restrictions regarding pets?

Hi again.

Welcome back to the Forum.  We've had this conversation before and nothing has changed.  As a US citizen, you definitely do need a visa (either a Tourist Visa to stay up to 90 days as a Tourist, or a Work-related visa).

I hope this helps.

Hello and welcome !

In addition to information given above. I would recommend that you read the articles of the Living in Scotland guide for expats to gather as much information as possible.

All the best
