UK mobility guide
Where should I start if I want to move to the UK?
Start with the outcome you want to make possible. This guide helps you compare work, family, study, nationality and visitor routes before you commit to an application.
Start with the future you want
A temporary visit, a move to join family and a new UK job raise different questions. A British family connection may also point towards nationality or an Ancestry visa. You do not need to know the legal route name to begin exploring.
Separate the connected decisions
Immigration permission, employment and the practical move are connected but distinct. Understanding one does not settle the others. Explore the five starting points first, then use the wider guides for costs, timing, homes, schools and support.
