Non domicile while on spousal visa

I’ll be moving to the UK with my British husband while he is doing his PhD in London. I’m born in Malaysia and all my family ties etc are all in Southeast Asia. I’ve acquired Singapore citizenship myself recently as this has been home for us in the last 12 years. We are intending to return here in the future as well as his work resolves around research in the south east Asia region. I believe that I qualify for claiming non dom status according to the flowchart on HMRC website but I’ve been advised I will be domicilliary by choice because of my visa. Are you able answer this? Regards, Daniel

Hi JZM2WC,

No. HMRC cannot determine your domicile status as this is for you to decide based on the guidance available.

Thank you.
