I think you have 28 days if you come and walk straight into a job, but not looked into it too much.
We just got them as soon as we could, I think you have to wait 7 - 10 days anyway for immigration to get you into the computer system.
Best thing to do is get here, chill for 5 days then worry about stuff, it takes that long to stop falling asleep in the middle of the day
