About ArriveUK

Arriving is more than landing at an airport.

ArriveUK is an Oxford-based international student arrival and settling-in support business, created to make the transition into life in the UK clearer, more organised and more personal.

Why ArriveUK exists

Flights, transport and accommodation can all be arranged separately — yet students can still arrive with one important question: “What do I do next?”

Our story

We saw a gap between arriving in the UK and actually feeling settled. ArriveUK was created to help bridge that gap — combining practical coordination with real human support during those important first days.

How we want to work
ClearKnow what is included, what it costs and what happens next.
PersonalA real point of contact, not just a booking reference.
ResponsibleWe are clear when a specialist third party delivers a service.

Our purpose: make the first days in the UK easier to understand and easier to manage.

What we stand for

Clear principles. Practical support.

These principles shape how we communicate, coordinate support and work with students, families and specialist providers.

Safe & responsibleWe plan each supported arrival carefully and work with appropriate providers where specialist services are required.
Clear & transparentYou know what is included and what it costs before you pay. Third-party costs are clearly explained.

Human supportThere is a real person behind the journey. Where follow-up is included, we stay in touch as you begin settling in.
Respect for every studentWe welcome students from different countries, cultures and backgrounds, and communicate as clearly and helpfully as we can.
Easy to reachContact us through WhatsApp or email during stated support hours, with clear guidance when another provider or emergency service is responsible.
