If you are moving to Newcastle upon Tyne from abroad, check GOV.UK to confirm whether you need a visa and what rights you will have to work, rent and access services. Before travelling, arrange suitable accommodation and budget for rent, a deposit, council tax, energy bills and other living costs. Once there, register with a GP, apply for a National Insurance number if needed, open a UK bank account and contact Newcastle City Council about council tax and local services. If you have children, check school admissions with the local authority; requirements can vary depending on your immigration status and circumstances.
