Sir Mark Thatcher has been refused a visa to enter the United States in the wake of his conviction in connection with an African coup plot.
The son of the former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher had hoped to be reunited with his family in Texas.
But he said on Sunday: "I shall make the family home in Europe, not the UK, and my family will be joining me as soon as arrangements are made."
Sir Mark, 51, was given a four-year suspended sentence in January.
He was also fined by a South African court for offences related to the bungled coup attempt in Equatorial Guinea.
Sir Mark, who had lived in South Africa since 1995, came to Britain in February and has been staying with his 79-year-old mother in London.
He had hoped to move to Dallas, Texas to be with his wife Diane, 44, and their two children.
But he said in a statement: "It is quite true that my visa application has been rejected.
"It was always a calculated risk when I plea bargained in South Africa.
"As a result of this decision, I shall make the family home in Europe, not the UK, and my family will be joining me as soon as arrangements are made.
"But the children will continue to be educated in America."
A spokesman for Sir Mark said he could re-apply for a US visa after two years.

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
Thatcher should just goto Mexico then sneak over the border as discusssed in the other thread.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! That would be quite a story. A book even. Perhaps movie rights?Originally Posted by Jeremy
