To save me hours if not days of trawling the Internet for information, does anyone know the correct sequence of events for my 80 year old Father to come here to live with us. Obviously when he arrives I will take him for a NIE number, but after that what?

My Mum died here just over a year ago, and he wanted to go back to the UK because he said he could never master the language or communicate with anyone, but he's really not coping well on his own in the UK, and has finally decided to come here.

Do we start with the pensions people in the UK, or or ?

His house went on the market 2 days ago, and he already has people wanting to view, so this could happen fairly quickly.

Any advise would be welcome.
