    Getting settled in the UK

     

    Childcare options in the UK

    Childcare in the UK is costly. But it is also regulated and there are a few choices available. You may find that if you have two or more children under school age, childcare costs may actually be higher than your salary each month – depending on what you earn, of course!

    Your SA drivers licence

    Yes it is valid in the UK and you can convert it without taking a driving test again. Read up on what you need to know about your licence and ensure that you stay on the right side of the law.

    Update on previous info regarding letter of authority so that you can convert ID book drivers licences to UK ones.
