Hey Whats up I am currently living in Portugal where I have been for the last 14 years, I am a Portuguese citizen and also an Australian citizen. After recent events in Portugal I have decided that It's time for myself to branch out and I am very keen on a move to London, I have a close friend of mine too, he is only Portuguese who would be coming along with me as he too is extremely interested in an opportunity at a better life.
Basically what are the steps required for us to be able to arrive in London and start job searching? I am aware that we would require an insurance number, is our EU ID card enough for us to travel to London? we would require a permanent address in order to obtain an Insurance number correct? along with a bank account I presume. subsidies for rent? public transport? Health Insurance/health care? English lessons or tutoring for my friend for example as his is not 100%
Is there any financial assistance provided for Portuguese workers once they obtain a Insurance Number? Also employment assistance, help finding a job best suited for us for example. I would also like to know about opportunities to create and open a business.
Best regards.
