Managing Your UK ISA

A guide to retaining & optimising your ISA while living abroad.

Why You Need This Guide

If you’ve moved abroad, chances are your ISA has been left behind.
You can no longer contribute to it, and it likely sits unmanaged—disconnected from your overall financial strategy.

But there is a smarter way.

This guide explains how you can retain the tax advantages of your ISA, transfer it into an expat-optimised structure, and actively manage it as part of your global portfolio—without needing to return to the UK.

Inside the guide

  • Why your ISA becomes ‘frozen’ when you leave the UK
  • How ISAs can be transferred and professionally managed
  • Key tax considerations for expats
  • Step-by-step walkthrough of the process
  • Who this is suitable for—and who it isn’t

This guide is for

  • British nationals living outside the UK
  • Expats with one or more UK ISAs
  • Those who want their ISA to remain part of their long-term financial plan
  • Anyone seeking clarity on ISA rules for non-UK residents

Why this matters

  • Your ISA can still grow tax-free in the UK
  • You can align it with your wider investment goals
  • You can access professional oversight and flexible withdrawals
  • You don’t have to leave it behind just because you’ve moved abroad
