3. Do your research before you move from Netherlands to UK

Many expats moving from Netherlands to the UK will have a good understanding of what life is like in the country before they arrive, thanks largely to its portrayal in popular culture. However, the reality of everyday life in the United Kingdom is likely to be different from what you see on the screen. For example, the high number of opportunities in London is reflected in London’s high cost of living, but northern areas of the country are generally much more affordable. Similarly, while most large towns and cities have diverse populations and popular night-time economies, this is often not the case in more remote, rural locations.

4. Move your vehicle from The Netherlands to UK

Are you planning on taking your car with you to your new home in the UK?
