I've been laid off from my job and about to start the process of BR, I've always worked abroad and have a bank account abroad and in the future if I go back to work for a foreign company would the OR be able to trace the bank account. Thanks
I'm sure it's possible but I suspect that something would need to be evident in a case to prompt the OR to carry out overseas checks on property and bank accounts.
As you have always worked abroad it would be an obvious thing to do in your case. That said, I'm sure there are some countries that have no arrangement with the UK for such checks to be carried out.
Anywhere in the Eu or in the USA I would guess is a dead cert for this type of information to be attainable.
