- There are different immigration options. Check these carefully and make sure you have the right visa.
- Is there tax on leaving your previous country? Are there emigration formalities?
- You may need several bank accounts outside the UK. Liaise with your bank in good time.

- Are you renting or buying a property? You need to consider funding and tax options.
- Review your business and employment arrangements.
- Arrange schools well in advance of September.
- Check your domicile and its implications – this is different to residence or immigration status.
- Have you previously been UK resident (including as a student)? There may be tax or other hangovers to consider.
