Expat Panel: Updates on Currency, Tax, UK Pensions, Immigration, Banking

21 September, 2023

Whether you are new to Orange County or have been here a while, there are things you need to know to ensure success with your tax planning, immigration status, and current and future finances. Navigating the immigration laws, establishing your credit history, understanding the taxation system, and oh, what to do with that UK pension you left behind? While these issues may seem separate, your decisions about one issue, may negatively, or positively, impact one of the other areas.

This is your chance to get your questions answered from a panel of experts, including Florin Pensions CEO Emma Cockerton, in currency transfer, tax, immigration law, banking and UK pensions. You will also get a chance to connect with people who are in similar situations as yourself.

Join us at the Newport Beach Yacht Club for some in-person networking at 5:30pm. The panel session will begin at 6:30pm. Complimentary hor d’oeuvres and one drink ticket included.
