Welcome to the UK
It's quite the journey when planning to come to the UK. Once you've completed the visa process, the packing, shipping and long haul flight over to these shores, coming to the UK can be something of a head-spin. From here, your initial hurdles include finding a property, arranging a national insurance number, bank account, mobile phone, and the list goes on...
This introduction to the UK will help give you a firm foundation, and offers an insight on how Lesters can potentially help.
Obviously it's not all panic, living and working in the UK can be great fun! From a professional standpoint it also gives you opportunities for tax planning that usually allow you to retain more ££s in your pocket than your British colleagues. Unfortunately, if you get things wrong, you can find yourself much worse off and paying tax on both sides of the world. Lesters has been helping Commonwealth expats for over 25 years. We know the system both in the UK and 'back home', and can help you focus on what you do best while we look after the paperwork.
