National Insurance Number…

Your National Insurance number is a unique number allocated

to you only.

You retain the number for your whole life.

It makes sure that the National Insurance contributions and tax you pay are properly

recorded against your name. It also acts as a reference number when communicating with

the Department for Work and Pensions and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

If you start work or set up on a self-employed basis, you must apply for a National Insurance

number if you do not already have one. If you have the right to work in the UK, you will need

to telephone Jobcentre Plus on 0845 600 0643 to arrange your National Insurance Number.

Lines are open 8.00 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday and are normally less busy before

9am.

You may be required to attend an 'Evidence of identity' interview.

You must apply for a National Insurance number to start work but you don't need to have a

plastic National Insurance number card. You must however have some social proof of your

National Insurance number before you can start work. Without it you will

be paying

emergency tax

Bank Account

When you work in the UK, you are required to open a UK bank account to allow

payment, and prevent issues with TAX and NI payments.

There are many banks to choose from within the UK, and you should visit a

branch of your required bank and ask them for help in opening an account. You

must have your ID documentation with you when applying to open a bank

account.

If you have any problems locating a bank branch,

please speak to a member of the TG team who will

endeavour to help you.

Most Banks will open account for free but you should always read T&C

before signing the agreement.

Sometimes bank representatives offer visit you in a place where you work

The cost of living . . .

The cost of living in the UK obviously differs to the cost of living in other

countries. Some items are more expensive, and you may also struggle to find

other items.

There are European shops located throughout the UK, so once you settle in to

the UK, you should ask around and find out where these are, to purchase any

specialised items you may require.

There are various supermarkets across the country, such as

ASDA, Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi etc... These shops all sell

groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen goods and alcohol. Most places

sell cigarettes and have Pay Points for topping up your mobile phone, paying

bills or transferring money.

Accommodation . . .

TRG will not provide you with accommodation for when you arrive in the UK. You

must arrange this yourself.

www.google.com is a very helpful website, on which you can search for Landlords

in the area within the UK to which you intend to relocate.

Your TRG representative may be able to provide you with details of companies

which may be able to help you source accommodation within the UK, however

these companies are not representatives of TRG, and you must deal with them

directly and not through TRG.
