Welcome to the United Kingdom

 

Welcome to our country and all it can offer you. You’re making a big move and we want you to feel at home while the UK is your home.

This guide is for people who are planning their move to the UK, and to ensure they make the most of the fantastic opportunities that it offers. We know that it’s an exciting time for you, so we’re here to help. We hope this guide can make your move easier and begin to answer some of the questions you’ll have. Once you know where in the UK you will be living you may also be able to find more specific information from your local authority.

We’ve tried to be helpful and accurate. If you have ideas of other things it would have been useful to know, or if something’s not quite right, then please let us know.
