Do I need ToR?

I’m not planning on bringing anything really except personal items (clothes, laptop) in maybe 2 suitcases at the most. Do I need to apply for ToR?

I didn't.  I only brought what I could carry in my carry-on, "personal item" (my camera case), and two checked bags.  It was all personal items, so I didn't declare anything, and if my checked bags were inspected, they weren't concerned with the contents.

What else do you advise doing before leaving? Idk what to do about health insurance and taxes etc.

Health insurance wasn't an issue for me, as I didn't have any 😬

Taxes, I haven't done anything yet really. Since I lived in the states for most of the year I'll file taxes as usual online in February. After that I know we're supposed to file taxes on our U.K. earnings but that's a good year off still.

Before I left I had my American bank change my mailing address to here. I'm sure there's other things I haven't throught of that I'll need to deal with from afar. But I have my 2 grown daughters holding down things in California, so I'm not too concerned. Oh....I also had to get a background check done before I left because I work in schools and the check they would do here wouldn't be sufficient for a new resident.

I just picked up my BRP card at the post office yesterday. Super easy. I'm going to phone about getting a national insurance number today. We need to get me added to the lease on the flat and added to hubbys bank account.

When are you coming over evy?
