Not just a checklist. Basera shows you how each step is done — which bank to open and how, how to get your NI number, how to register with a GP — in the right order for your visa.
Your visa, where you're from, where you'll be living. Three quick questions — a dependant's checklist is not a student's, so we never mix them.
Essentials first, then the money-savers, then the extras — in the right order for your stage, whether you haven't flown yet, just landed, or have been here a while.
Every task opens with what you need, the exact steps, and one button that takes you to the real thing: the bank, gov.uk, the Railcard. Tick it off when it's done.
Every milestone is a postage stamp for your album — landing, finishing your essentials, passing a guide quiz. Collect the set.
One tap makes a card in your family's language — Nepali, Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Urdu, Tamil — so home knows you're okay.
Everyone who settles in through your link counts as someone you've helped. Climb your community's leaderboard and unlock rewards.
The Underground, supermarkets, the NHS, British phrases — short, snackable, with a quiz at the end if you fancy a badge.
Free stuff, food, money and days out — each with a one-line verdict. If a deal isn't worth it, we say skip it.
Visa expiry, Graduate Route window, Railcard renewal, council tax exemption — we nudge you before it costs you.
Half-right advice from a cousin's friend, or a checklist built for your exact visa with the how-to on every step. One of them is free and takes a minute.
Roughly one in three UK study visas goes to someone from South Asia — students, then the partners, parents and children who follow. Most of us landed with a suitcase, a CAS letter and a WhatsApp group full of half-right advice.
Basera is the companion we wish we'd had: every step in the right order, the how-to for each one, honest about what's worth your money, and built for our community — by state and by language, not one generic “international student”.
a dwelling; a place to rest; the nest a bird returns to at the end of the day
Pronounced bah-SEH-rah. You're crossing the world for a degree or a job — we help you build the basera at the other end.
Yes. Basera earns a small fee when you sign up for some services through our links — a bank, a SIM, a Railcard. You pay the same price as you would anywhere else, usually less. That fee is how we keep the app free for everyone.
Yes — a free one. Answer three quick questions, then sign up with your name and email. We send a 6-digit code to your email, no password to remember. Your checklist, stamps and referral link are saved and follow you between your phone and laptop.
Yes — and your checklist is different on purpose: right-to-work share code, full-time work rights, finding work and childcare content instead of enrolment and student discounts.
All of the UK. Every major city and university is built in; the guides are UK-wide with local detail where it matters (London transport, for example).
