When did the apostle John move to the ancient city of Ephesus?
There is no evidence that John, son of Zebedee, ever went to either Patmos or Ephesus.

What does it mean St. John the Apostle was exiled on the Isle of Patmos at the age of about 100 where he had a vision of Christ and of the future. Basically I am confused what the exiled part means?
A person named John probably writed on the Patmos Island The Revelation (Apocalypse).Roman Catholic AnswerAccording to Tertullian's testimony, the Romans attempted to boil St. John alive in boiling oil, when he survived that unscathed, he was exiled to the island of Patmos under the emperor, Domitian. After Domitian's death, John returned to Ephesus. He died about the age of 100, but that was at Ephesus, he would have been younger when he was at Patmos. See the Catholic Encyclopedia article below:

Where did the apostle John die?
A:Although many fanciful traditions about the deaths of the apostles grew up over the centuries, we do not really know how any of them died. When it was decided late in the second century that he was the 'John' who wrote the Book of Revelation, it became necessary for John to live to an old age, so that he could actually write this book, on the island of Patmos. Scholars are now in substantial agreement that the apostle John did not write the Book of Revelation, but the tradition persists that he alone of the apostles died of old age, probably at Patmos. We can say that he would not have died on Patmos, but no more. A:Ephesus
Is Revelation the last book of the Bible?
Yes, Revelation is PHYSICALLY the last book in the Holy Bible, but not the last book written in the Bible. John wrote Revelation when he was a prisoner on the Isle of Patmos for preaching about Jesus(Revelation 1:1,2+9), but it is generally believed that he wrote his gospel and his three 'epistles'(1John, 2John, 3John) after he was released from Patmos and was living near Ephesus.
How many exiles went to Patmos?
An unsubstantiated Christian tradition says that the apostle John was exiled to Patmos, because the Romans were unable to kill or hurt him. This raises the question of how the Romans could force John to go to Patmos if they were really unable to hurt or harm him in any way. The reason for this legend is that the book of Revelation is signed by a person called John, writing from Patmos. When it was decided that this John was really the apostle John, it became necessary to find a way of getting the apostle John to Patmos, with exile the solution. Patmos would be a particularly poor place to exile someone, since its harbour was a stopover between Rome and Ephesus, so an exile could simply go on board the next convenient boat in either direction - remember the Romans could do nothing to hurt or harm John and so could not detain him. So, no one was really exiled to Patmos, but tradition says that one person, John, was.
What was John in the Bible considered in the early church?
