The steps, in order

Before

Eligibility, application file, insurance for the whole stay, tickets — every step with the real timelines.

During

Your first steps on the ground: Confirm your eVisa status in your UKVI account · Generate a share code to prove your right to work and rent · Buy a UK SIM or activate a UK eSIM on arrival · Confirm your first address (hostel, short-let, or room) · Open a UK bank account (Monzo or Starling recommended) · Apply for a National Insurance number online.

After

The part everyone forgets: cancellations, taxes, contributions to claim back. The return checklists are in the app, country by country.

All these steps, in order and tickable offline, are in the app — free, in your language.
