Hello Bev

Thank you for your really quick reply, the partner, is my man, who I don't really want to have as husband, quite yet!!! So yes you are right it would be two seperate visa's. I was looking at renting for the 6 months over there, which worked out at a 1/4 of the total purchase price of buying a good sized mobile home - or so it seemed. I know there are utilities/lot rent to pay and some parks are age restricted, some not, although unfortunately we are in those horrible 50's now!!! We both own property here, so one will still be here, even if I sell mine, but as for business interests, ha with luck we will have more or less retired, with luck!! Once again thanks for your reply, very very helpful. Christine
