Check whether you need a visa and confirm the conditions attached to it before travelling, including any restrictions on work or access to public funds. Arrange somewhere suitable to live, budget for deposits and living costs, and keep important documents such as your passport, visa and proof of address secure. Once here, you may need to arrange a National Insurance number, open a bank account, register with a GP and understand your tax position. Use GOV.UK for current immigration and public-service guidance, and consider professional advice if your circumstances are complicated.
