Start by checking whether you need a visa and the conditions attached to it on the official GOV.UK website. Once you have an address, arrange a tenancy or other suitable housing, register with Birmingham City Council for council tax, and contact the local NHS services about healthcare registration. If you have children, check school admissions and availability with the council as early as possible. You may also need a UK bank account, National Insurance number and proof of identity or right to rent; requirements can vary, so check each organisation’s current guidance.
