You might have to clear immigration at two levels, one at native country airport and one at UK. I hope you must have started applying for jobs now and might have got some kind of responses from the consultants. Do carry a print out of the same.

Carry a Chest X-Ray and report of the same from any recognized laboratory for producing to the immigration at UK if asked for. As I understand, if staying for more than 6 months, you need to produce it. Nevertheless it is safe to carry it.

Carry as much cash (or TC) as necessary for the stay period based on the cost of living of the place where you intend to stay.

Be frank to the question, "Why have you come to UK" at the immigration.

And finally carry ample amount of good luck and best wishes as they are free and will be much needed for job hunting.

Good Luck

Hi ,

Here is the checklist :

1) Bring all the docs you supplied during your initial application to VFS

2) You have to fill a landing card so you must have a address in UK ( ask some friends / family members to provide it)

3) Bring some cash with you as you have to give your self a month or 2 to get yourself a job.

4) If you have some arrangements for job , print all the emails as this will be needed in job center plus for NI ( national Insurance).

5) You will require an address in UK to open an account so if you have banking in your home country that also do banking here in the UK ask them to send you a letter at your UK address .

Good luck! and welcome to party

How do I apply for National Insurance? Is a job mandatory for this?

Nope, a job in hand is not mandatory to apply for an NI. You need an NI to actively apply for jobs and avoid any confusions later. Just walk into a Job Centre and tell them you want an NI and they will advice you accordingly. No worries really as you can always start the NI process even once you get a job.
