Starting January 2015 my boyfriend is studying abroad at UCC for the Spring. We currently live together and have a 2 year old daughter. His program gives him the option to take dependents and/or companions. He has proper paperwork to show that he has been accepted to attend UCC and although he put our daughter and I as dependents it doesn't state our names. We booked our round trip tickets before they are overly expensive, but now I'm worried we won't be allowed to stay for more than the 90 days given to tourists because we don't have visas.

I've been living in Australia for over 10 years, on home duties. I've paid (and am only one payment from completing) enough NI contributions for UK pension eligibility. My enquiry is back-to-front! I would like to build a pension fund in the UK while based overseas. I have accessible funds in the UK and am at a loss as to how to best put them to work there. I've wondering about starting a sipp. As a non-resident UK national, can I open a UK sipp with funds in a UK bank account? Would I do better move the funds offshore (eg Isle of Man of Channel Islands)?
