Been preparing to do it for a while now but this week I pulled the trigger and I'm about to move from Ireland to the UK. Is there anything I need to know about getting set up there? I know I immediately have the right to work and reside because I'm an Irish citizen and that I will need to get a NI number asap, then register with the NHS to prevent any issues later on down the line. Getting set up with a bank and a proper place to live that isn't my partner's parents' house is next on the list, along with getting a job. I've applied for some entry level government positions and will look more in the private sector in about two weeks, right before I'm about to move. I don't see myself having too much of an issue with the job search? I have plenty of call centre skills and I've worked as an office administrator for the last few months, plus I have a degree (in Arts, but they included some web training so I have some "employable" skills).

As for the inevitable "why" (because god knows I've thought it myself) -- rent/general cost of living in Ireland is way too high, I have better opportunities for my Masters degree in the UK, and my partner lives there. Plus, I enjoy living in urban areas and I can't do that in Ireland without getting even more priced out.

Any advice would be great!

Register for a GP instead of ignoring it for years like me. Get a monzo card. Getting a bank account might be the most difficult thing, and you may have trouble getting a phone contract because you have no credit history. I managed to get mine by doing some kind of rolling month contract.

:Edit: also what twisto ^ said

The concept of moving to the UK because cost of living/rent is too high in cities where you live is quite difficult to fathom but if you really want to I guess..?

Imagine paying higher rent and more for food for even less than in the UK. Plus he did say he was in a rural area so even living in a bedsit in Croydon is preferable to that
