Hi,
I am Tunisian, been living in the UK (Scotland, Edinburgh) for about 27 years. My wife is Tunisian, and we have a 4 year-old daughter born in Edinburgh. I am a UK citizen, a fully qualified teacher since 2004, working in a permanent job since 2007 and I have been paying into my teacher pension. I have been paying National Insurance contributions throughout my life and work here and I should have a state pension at 67 or when this government decides otherwise.
My wife is a pupil learning assistant, she started her permanent job in 2014 and she’s also a UK Citizen. She pays into her pension but that’s not refundable.
We’re planning to move back to Tunisia. We have a home in Edinburgh that’s worth about £250000 to be fully paid by March 2023. We’re planning to sell it once paid and move back to Tunisia.
The plan is to buy a house in Ariana, Tunis and another flat or 2 to rent and hopefully live a better less stressful life.
I love Edinburgh, Scotland and the UK. They are home. But we find that life is getting more expensive, too many taxes and our jobs are very stressful. We yearn for a change and Tunisia ticks the boxes.
Thank you.

- The major dilemma we’re facing is that we’ll ruin our daughter’s life
- Our plan is to buy a detached house to live in (already sorted)
- 1 flat or 2 for the future of our daughter
- Get our daughter into Tunisian education, see what she would like in the future
- live off my modest pension, at least £400 a month + rents from flats
- Lastly, if our daughter wants to go back to the UK, she can.
Thank you.
