Compare visa requirements, living costs, tax, healthcare, housing, transport and schools before deciding where and how to move to the UK. Your visa route can affect your right to work, access to public services and whether family members can join you, so check the latest guidance on GOV.UK. Costs and services also vary between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and between cities and rural areas. For complex immigration or tax circumstances, consider speaking to a regulated immigration adviser or qualified tax professional.
