Applying from overseas

[FCL22]

Hello,

I'm a 22 year old, British Citizen by birth and for a while now I've been interested in joining the army. I'm medically, mentally and physically fit enough and I have the required motivation and drive. The only problem being, that I am currently living/working in Germany. I'm due to move back home in just over 2 months but I am really keen to get the ball rolling. Is it worth me applying whilst I am still living here in Germany? Would it in anyway affect my application? Or would it just be better for me to apply when I have moved back?

Thanks in advance for your help & apologies if I have negated to mention anything that would help answer my query quicker (I'm new to this forum stuff )

I would apply from Germany and when they ring you, explain your situation, better to have dates arranged before you get to England.

Hey Millar,

Thanks for your response!

What you said makes sense. Funny how when you're stressing over something so much, the simplest and most obvious of solutions seem to evade you, haha!

Thanks again,

Faye

Tell them your current status (Moving back to UK) and they will still put you on their books and then hand you over to your local (UK) ACIO.

Good luck and enjoy.
