Provisional Licence If you don’t have a full licence yet and want to drive in the U.K., you must apply for a provisional U.K. licence. You can take a U.K. driving test once you’ve been in the country for 185 days (six months). Visas Part of moving to the U.K. is applying for your visa. Your employer will inform you of which one to apply for. For more information, you can visit the U.K. Visa and Immigration website at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration . Right to Rent Effective February 2016, a landlord should not authorise an adult to occupy property as their only or main home under a residential tenancy agreement unless the adult is a British citizen, an EEA or Swiss national, or has a “right to rent” in the U.K. All private landlords, or estate agents acting on their behalf, in England are required to check if new tenants have the right to be in the U.K. before renting their property. Any occupants aged 18 and over, whether listed on the tenancy agreement or not, are required to present original passports and visas in person to the landlord or agent.
