What will the 2020 British students do after landing?

It's another school season, and many friends who came to Britain for the first time have a lot of questions and worries after entering the country during their illness. Today, I simply sorted out a few things that need to be done after entry quarantine ~

1, get a calling card

There are many kinds of calling cards in Britain, such as O2, EE, Vodafone and so on, and their prices are also high. In contrast, CMLink is the most widely used among international students in China. Without a contract, you can connect your hometown number to the domestic mobile phone number SMS verification code. The same price contains a lot of traffic. The minimum package of 1 pound has 500MB of traffic, and the package above 5.99 pound also includes 1, 000 minutes of international long-distance voice.

Treatment method:

(1) Before departure, you can log in to CMLink official website to buy your own cards, and you can get your cards in China in advance, and you can get them in a week or so.

② Four UK visa centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen can receive free package experience cards (200MB traffic, 30 minutes local voice calls in the UK and Chinese mainland, and 30 local SMS messages in the UK).

Pay attention to the "British Small Motion" and you can check the remaining packages and recharge at any time.

2, the police station registration

The joint visa requires you to register with the police station within 7 days of entering the UK, otherwise it will leave a bad influence. If it is a single language visa, you don't need to register during the language period, and then register after the language renewal.

Registration needs to bring:

(1) Three photos with a two-inch white background.

② Passport

③ visa

④ The school provides the admission notice.

⑤ Application Form

⑥34 pounds registration fee

I will give you a notice after registration. In the future, if you change your passport, address and visa, you must update the information of the tool police station, or you will be punished.

3. School curriculum registration

Some universities need to complete online registration on the portal and register in the school service center. If they don't register in time, it may affect their application for scholarships or student loans.

Registration materials:

① Original and photocopy of passport and visa

② Diplomas and degree certificates

③ report card

④ Quotation

In order to get a campus card successfully, you must remember to submit your personal photos on the portal. If you don't want to look directly at yourself on the student ID card, remember to dress yourself up.

4. get a BRP card.

BRP card is equivalent to our ID card in the UK, which is very important. Students who have applied for a Tier 4 visa and studied in the UK for more than 6 months need to go to the designated post office to get their biometric information cards within 10 days. During the epidemic, considering that freshmen need isolation, they can get BRP after isolation.

After completing 14 days of self-isolation and freshman registration, everyone will take the time to collect BRP at the designated post office in the collection.

You need to take it with you to get it:

① Passport

(2) Claim Form (a letter issued by the British Visa and Immigration Bureau when issuing a 30-day entry visa, which will indicate which local post office you need to pick it up, and there is a time limit).

5. Hospital registration

Students living in and around the school and students living outside the school have different regional hospital registrations. Google NHS official website to find the nearest GP, and then follow the steps to fill in the form. After registering with the national health care system, most of the treatments here are free.

Preparation of application materials:

① Proof of accommodation address

② Passport

③ Business process reengineering

Please keep the NHS number on the medical card after successful registration. If you change your residence address, GP should re-register in time.

6. Embassy registration

Apart from police registration and NHS registration, embassy registration is not urgent, but it is also very important. In case of lost passport or other emergency, you can easily get help from the embassy.

Materials required for embassy registration:

① Passport ID information page

(2) a copy of the visa (including the entry stamp) and the front and back of the BRP card.

③ Power of attorney

(4) people studying for a degree in Britain.

⑤ Fill in my mailing address and pay the postage reply express PDF file.

In addition, you must register at the embassy to apply for the certificate of returned overseas students, so you can register in advance.

7. Open a bank account

International students can only use debit cards to go to Britain.

There are two kinds of accounts in Britain: traditional accounts (cash accounts)

Savings account (savings account)

Both accounts are in the same bank card. If online banking is opened, the money in the two accounts is displayed separately.

I suggest that you apply for an online banking MONZO card (which can be found in the Appstore) when you come. You can use it immediately after the application is successful, and then apply for a bank card from Lloyd's, Barclays or HSBC offline.

Materials to be prepared for opening a bank card:

① Student certification

(2) college students' offer.

③ Address and home address

④ Passport

The bank card processing cycle is about 3 weeks. You can receive a welcome letter and bill from the bank. After opening an account, the bank will send you a welcome letter and a regular bill.

8. Oyster Transport Card

Oyster is suitable for most means of transportation in London. You can take subway, bus, tram, DLR, train and so on in London area 1-9.

The deposit is 5 pounds. When returning the card, the deposit can be refunded and recharged. The amount in the card is always valid.

Ordinary oyster cards can be purchased at any subway station. If you have just arrived in London, you can buy it from the self-service ticket vending machine and manual ticket window at Heathrow airport metro Station.
