Description
Thinking about moving to the UK from Europe? Start here.
Moving to another country involves more than packing your bags and booking a flight. There are documents to organize, immigration requirements to check, driving and healthcare to sort out, somewhere to live, money to arrange — and plenty of little British surprises along the way.
This practical 22-page guide is designed for people moving to the UK from Europe.
It helps you organize the big jobs, keep track of what you need to investigate and work through your move without turning the whole thing into one giant administrative headache.

A guide, not a crystal ball
UK requirements can vary according to your nationality, immigration status, country of origin, work situation and personal circumstances — and rules can change.
There is also no general EU free movement into the UK, so the route that applies to you is important.
This guide doesn’t pretend that one checklist can tell every person exactly what they need to do.
Instead, it helps you work out what you need to check, when you need to check it and what you need to keep track of.
You’ll also find reminders to check current official information where requirements depend on your individual circumstances.
And when the English gets… complicated?
Yes, you already speak English.
Unfortunately, Britain has installed its own version. 😂
The guide includes a practical British English decoder covering everyday differences such as:
Gas station = Petrol station
Apartment = Flat
Elevator = Lift
Sidewalk = Pavement
Line = Queue
Plus a few genuinely British expressions you may encounter along the way.
And when you need to make an important telephone call and simply don’t have the words, that’s where telmyfriends comes in.
Your purchase includes 1 month of telmyfriends Expat Basic FREE, giving you 15 minutes of live telephone interpretation to help when language becomes the problem.
