Documents

Passport, with at least six months left on it
Visa or residence paperwork, printed and saved offline
Health or travel insurance documents
Certified copies of birth or marriage certificates, if family is coming

Prescription medication for the first three months, with the prescription
Antihistamines and a basic first-aid kit
EHIC, or a UK GHIC (covers state care until you are registered)
