Could anybody answer me when can we prepare for the first day of Ramadan? There's always arguing between people about the beginning of the day as it happens every year which makes me extremely confused. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

It depends on which region you live on if you live in Saudi Arabia/UAE then tomorrow on 24-04-20 is your first Ramadan, If you live in Pakistan/India then your first Ramadan will be on 25-04-20. It only depends on the sight of crescent Moon of Ramadan.

Islamic calendar is lunar, so a month begins with the sight of the new moon, the crescent.
some people stick to the sight of a naked eye, others say it suffices to see the crescent with whatever instrument you want.
Some countries like Saudi Arabia created a calendar by the name of umm-ul-Qura (ام-القری), if I am not mistaken, a century ago, which predicts beginning of Ramadan, and announce 2 day as Fitr.
At least one scholar says it suffices for the moon to be sighted in countries with common night.
