Got questions? We've got answers.
Yes. You can start using this website before you arrive in the UK to understand what documents you’ll need, which steps to take first, and how to prepare for your move. Your checklist will adapt as you move from planning to actually living in the UK, so you don’t lose track of what’s already done and what’s next.
No. The website does not provide formal legal advice and is not a law firm or immigration adviser. We offer clear, practical guidance and links to official resources to help you understand your options, but complex or high‑risk cases should always be discussed with a qualified professional.
Yes. The service is designed for different types of newcomers, including skilled workers, students, refugees, and spouses or partners, etc.
Your checklist covers the essentials for your first weeks and months in the UK, such as banking, housing basics, registering with a GP, understanding the NHS, and key documents to sort out. Over time, it also helps you with everyday life and integration — from transport and local services to rights, work, and where to go for extra support if you need it.
Basic features and essential checklists are free forever. We believe everyone deserves access to clear information when moving. Premium features, like AI responses and complicated cases, will be available later under an optional paid plan.
We constantly monitor changes to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) rules, NHS guidelines, and general UK laws. Our team updates the guides to ensure you're always looking at the latest requirements for 2026 and beyond.
