This book is a UK immigrant guide that helps you cut through the red tape upon arriving in England with your UK visa. It is created to support GOV.UK’s digital tools, simplifying your transition to life in England. Packed with useful inside information, video links, and expat experiences, you will have a head start on newcomers still struggling to understand what they need to do next.
The book focuses on England, home to nine out of ten immigrants. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have their own websites, and while there is considerable overlap with England, they often have separate processes that newcomers must follow.
That said, the chapters on your eVISA, driving, healthcare, opening a bank account, integrating into the UK culture and the 10 questions on UK schooling that every newcomer asks, are 99% the same for all newcomers. The GOV.UK website only covers England, and it has different processes to register for work and to rent, but even then, the majority of information in those chapters PLUS ALL THE REMAINING CHAPTERS are suitable for all newcomers.
Newcomers to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland who buy the book can email info@ukessentialsguide.co.uk for a free, abbreviated guide where processes are different for these countries.
