So, do you wanna move to the UK?

To be honest, I thought it would be much more complicated to move to the UK, but thanks to the European Union, things are rather easy.

Tips to have the smoothest move possible:

1. Decide on a couple of locations you are willing to move to (check house/apartment prices, travelling connections, the town's history such as robberies, murders and other unpleasantries)
2. Start looking for jobs online. There are plenty of websites to look at, and if you have office or iGaming experience, you are more likely to make your  dreams come true!
3. Expect job interviews to be done through a phone call or a video call. They might ask you to fly over for the final interview. Take advantage of such situations as you will be able to see where you'll be living should you get offered the job.
4. Once offered the job, make sure they give you a reasonable amount of days to pack, say goodbyes, find a place to live and actually move.
5. Bare in mind, that unless you share an apartment or a house with other people, it might be difficult to get the internet, telephone and TV line. It took me over a month as I had no financial history in the UK. Same goes to a mobile phone contract. The easiest thing to do until you're sorted is to buy a SIM and choose the Pay as You Go tarrif.
6. The company you start working for should help you to get the work permit and also to open a bank account. You should ask for reference letters to help you sort these things out quicker. I had a bank account after around 2 weeks in the UK, and the work permit took a litttle longer, because I had to wait for two weeks for the interview. 
7. Once you have the work permit, look for your local NHS and register yourself. This is handy as you will then be able to visit the clinic and book doctor appointments. A good thing here is, that medicines are free or cheaper than in Malta (if you're a working citizen).
