Move to the UK Checklist (in 9 Months or Less)

Move to the UK Checklist: What to do before you leave your home country and move to the UK. A plan for how to move to the UK in 9 months or less.

Move to the UK Checklist: Before You Leave

The Move to the UK Checklist is one-half of the Ultimate Checklist and covers what to do before you leave. The other half of the Ultimate Checklist is what to do after you arrive in the UK.

We made a New Year’s resolution on 1 January 2016 to move to the UK in September 2016. We gave ourselves 9 months to relocate as a family of four (mum, dad and two kids). We succeeded, so we know it can be done. It is possible to move to the UK in as little as 3 months. It will depend on your circumstances.

How to use the Move to the UK Checklist

Moving overseas is a major project so a simple checklist of ‘sell your stuff’, ‘save money’, ‘pack your bags’ … plan won’t cut it. You need to consider what to do as well as how, when and where you can get information and assistance.

I’ll prepare a simplified checklist (one or two pages that doesn’t have a lot of detail) after I’ve finished this post series. I’m hoping to be done in the coming months. The simplified checklist will probably have a tick box for things like ‘Get UK Visa’, ‘Get quote from furniture removals company’ and ‘Book flights’.

Do you have the right attitude and mindset?

Article: Moving Overseas – Attitude And Mindset

  • A positive mindset (thoughts, opinions, beliefs) and attitude (behaviour) is absolutely necessary to survive the ordeal of moving overseas. In your mind, do you believe that you have the knowledge and resources to make your move a success? In your heart, do you have the desire and expectation that your move will be a success?

Do you need a visa?

Article: UK Visas – Are You Eligible To Live And Work In The UK?

  • There are several visa options that allow you to visit, study, work and live permanently in the UK. If you’re a Commonwealth citizen and have a grandparent who was born in the UK, consider applying for a UK Ancestry Visa.
