Hi all,
I'm a registered ICU and A&E nurse from Belgium and trying to relocate to Scotland. My registration with the NMC has been pending for 3 months now (as much as I'd want to put it on brexit, it's actually because of hazy Belgian beaurocracy).
Having been told it would only take a couple of weeks, one month tops, I moved here last February. I am now seriously considering going back to Belgium as my savings are melting rapidly. I would welcome any and all advice, recommendation or opinion on that.
It got me wondering if I could work in the tourism and/or hospitality field while waiting for the registration but unsure of the type of visa I would need (I cannot find the proper information on uk.gov) and if doing so would jeopardise my healthcare visa once I get the NMC registration. I've also been told I needed to be out of the UK to apply for any working visa.
Posting here is a bit of a last resort. I'll appriciate any help I can get.
Cheers,
Alice
