quite. For my SIPP provider, I've ended up having to go with one of the more expensive providers, when all I need is one of the cheap diy ones, because the cheap diy ones don't allow US citizens to open accounts

When I called to change my address for an old work Fidelity IRA years back, the panic in the advisors voice, as he informed me I'd no longer be able to contribute to the fund, was kinda funny. Considering I'd never personally contributed to the account in the first place.

Out of curiosity what SIPP provider do you use?

Interactive brokers are the only broker I've found to actually advertise as for expats, but the 10k min is a bit much for me.

Hargreaves Landsdown. I've found the platform easy. They're good at getting the 20% top up, though it takes about 4-6 weeks after each deposit for the extra 20% to be deposited.

Not the cheapest though, but I think they may actually be cheaper than my work place pension! I need to sit down and work it out.

I started with a £20 deposit, and just set up a monthly transfer.
