Q: Are you still back home?

By that, I mean are you still considered a resident of your home country?

 

Do you still gain benefits as though you were still there

 

For my home country/state, I should have surrendered my driver's license, and my Medicare card. I'm no longer a resident of Australia, so I don't get all the benefits.

 

Technically, I should have also informed my banks that I'm not there anymore, and told them my new financial situation (in regards to my credit cards).

 

Please, confess....

I'm half and half. 

 

I'm no longer "tax resident" in the UK so don't have to mess about with tax returns. But this also mean I can no longer use the National Health Service (I have a good worldwide expat medical insurance through my job so this is okay)

I still have my UK driving licence as there is no law about handing it back if you leave the country. 

I have not told my UK bank or credit card company. They now think I live at my mothers house. If I told them they would close the accounts and I still have some commitments to pay in the UK (plus the credit card has a great credit limit if needed!)
