1. Contact Home: Upon your arrival, take a moment to connect with your loved ones back home. A quick phone call, text message, or email will provide reassurance that you've safely reached your destination.
2. Check into Your Accommodation: Whether you're residing in university-managed housing or private accommodation, follow the instructions provided by your accommodation provider. If any questions arise, promptly contact them for guidance. If transportation is needed, explore local taxi services, and consider booking in advance.
3. Collect Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP): For those requiring a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), refer to the instructions in the visa letter received. This includes details on the collection location, such as a local post office. Ensure all necessary documents, including your passport, are ready for collection.
4. Complete Your Right to Study Check: Fulfill the right to study check as per the guidelines provided by your educational institution.
