Important things to do upon entering UK

Hello All,
I would like to know the different steps to be executed upon entering UK for getting employment. As I know you need to register for NI number first, what would be the other important steps?

Thanks a lot

Find the job as soon as possible and rest everything will be taken care of. NI etc can be taken care by employer itself.

Just find the job and make it your first priority.

Depending upon where you're coming from, it is critical to register with the local police within 7 days of arrival. That info should be stamped on your visa if it is a requirement.

You can apply for an NHS card, but you must show that you are actively looking for work. This means that you will need emails or letters to say that you have interviews scheduled, etc. If you don't have this, then it can be difficult to get your NHS number.

Where did you hear that from? You can get registered for NHS irrespective of your employment status/ your search for job.

Guess a National Insurance (NI) card is being refered to, rather than National Health Service (NHS).

Oops, yes I meant NI card. Thanks.

Buddy ,

Forget NHS , NI etc as they are last priorities ...

First is JOB ....

once you get job you can do the rest slowly ...It is not mandatory to have NHS / Ni as soon as u come ...

Also i think (Not sure) for the first finanacial year NI need not be paid ..You could start paying NI from Year 2 .
