Spouse Arriving in the U.K. ...
So great new my wife got her visa! Yaaay!
Now when she arrives she will collect her BRP. Is that all she needs to work? Or will she be able to apply for a National Insurance Number?
Also as well as employed can she register as self employed? She a performer so some of her jobs will be self employed?

Congratulations! Your wife will need her BRP and a NINO to work, she needs to wait until she's in the UK to apply for the NINO. All details here https://www.gov.uk/apply-national-insurance-number I did this a few years ago, the process is quite simple. She can start a job before she gets her NINO, but she'll need to advise her employer that she's applied for one and is waiting for it. Can't help with the self-employed thing sorry.

She doesn't need an appointment, just needs to go to the designated post office and collect it within 10 days of her arrival.
