Your settling-in checklist

Confirm the street address, building and unit, and locate the entrance on your map.

Check whether your data, roaming or Wi-Fi works and what it costs.

Check the start and destination points and the last service for your chosen transport.

Keep your passport, bookings and school or employer instructions somewhere only you can access. Do not post them publicly.

Find contact details for your accommodation, school, employer or local support center.

Ask how locks, heating and hot water work. Record existing damage and confirm it with the person responsible.

Ask the responsible authority which filings, deadlines and documents apply to your status and address.

Identify rent, management fees, utilities and repair contacts in your contract.

Ask which plans fit your status and documents, including the full cost and cancellation terms.

Explain your intended use to the branch and ask which identity and purpose-of-account documents it needs.

Check sorting locations, collection days and food-waste instructions with building management and your local authority.

Check suitable providers, interpretation availability and your own insurance coverage separately.

Ask the provider about schedules, fees, eligibility and registration dates.

Make a private note of housing, transport, phone and food costs and payment dates.

Before visiting, check membership conditions and documents, including residence or age requirements.

Review dates and outstanding document requests given by the responsible organization.
