Hi,
I am a Singapore citizen married (for 4 years this coming November) to a British citizen. We have a child of 2 1/2 years holding a British & a Singapore passport.
We were married in Singapore the year 2008 and our marriage certificate is recognized worldwide. Have been living and working (me mainly) in Thailand since our marriage. Our child is born in Thailand.
I have left my job in Thailand and am looking to stay in the UK to be with my husband and child and his family - hence the need for a permanent resident. I do not wish to give up my Singapore citizenship.
For a Singapore passport, we do not need visa to visit UK and we are allowed 6 months stay here.
Now that I am here in the UK, under the visiting visa, how do I go about to apply for a UK permanent resident? I have looked into the FLR(M) and I must admit it is all too overwhelming.
Any advise, especially from those who have had such experience in an almost equivalent scenario out there, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Cheers!!
