How to get a UK Driving License for Expats & Immigrants | Process Costs Explained
I moved from India to the UK a year ago with my family and dogs and it’s been challenging to say the least. Since we moved to England, we’ve had our fair share of challenges. Some expected, some not.
I put out two new videos every week on moving to the UK including UK work visas and UK student visas and life in the UK once you get here so if you plan on moving to the UK, this is the channel for you!

This was really helpful! Thank you
Such amazing explanation! Thank you!!
Great explanation. Just want to add, you can make video on Applying for a Provisional license. Take it step by step. There is also some amount of confusion on " do I have to send my brp/passport in original if I have a share code and things like that." Ashika you are adding great value to your audience... Cheers, More Power To You
Very helpful video, thank you
It’s a must have to get a UK Driver’s License these days as in Job market they ask straight away about the type of License we hold. It’s like another Proof of ID. Thanks for a video on this topic Ashika!

Absolutely loved this video! Really helpful. I was planning on starting my preparation for theory test and this is a perfect roadmap to my plan. Thank you! Also, would you suggest preparing from these books or there are multiple apps online for learning, are they better? I’m confused. Your suggestion would help me a lot. Thank you!!

So I'm a UK citizen with a passport, but I have only just moved "back into" the UK (never lived here in my life) With access to an address where I have now got my bank account (again recently) will I be allowed to apply straight away? or do I need to wait until 185 days have passed? if anyone knows, that would be amazing!
Hey there Ashika how've you been? Hmmm yes besides jobs in UK, this topic was also a crucial one explained clearly today only by a life-saver like YOU! 🙂👍

If i arrived here just 2 months ago from India, can i still apply for a provisional licence and give my theory test or do i have to wait for 185 days? I heard somewhere that now you can give your theory before 185 days as well but for the practical u have to wait for 185 days?
Just a quick question. If I apply for provisional license will my international licence be void? As i can't find the rule, but have heard people geting fined for driving on provisional license while international licence still had some months to expire.
So far the best explanation i have done on KZread

Hi Anshika, Can u plz tell that can we get International driving licence for Uk from India if the driver license is newly issued from India(
Thank you for the video. I have EU driving license and Indian driving licence both. Will it help to getUJ driving licence anyway?
I don’t think so you have to be in UK for 180 days or more to get your license I think the government site says that you need to have a PERMISSION to stay for more than 180 days in UK If you need to apply for a license. Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong in the comments That would be helpful. Thanks. 1:50

@AbsolutelyAshika yes it is a sweet little town, and I loved it. My daughter is 14 years old and I am now searching for a good secondary school. Alt Wood and cox Green School are only offering in year admission for now. I have a few questions about my dog and how you are managing your dogs outside. I'm hoping to catch up with you on this, if that's not a problem. Thanks, and have a lovely Sunday.
Where do I get the two books for the theory test please
My international driving license expired…Can we drive with the renewed international driving license .. or we should apply for the uk license..
Wonderful explanation! I currently have Irish licence and it’s almost the same lengthy and difficult process here as well. Attaining a Driving Licence in EU and UK is a big thing, whereas in US and Canada it’s way cheaper and easier process.

Why do u need a UK Driving License? A driving license is required in England, Scotland, and Wales for any person driving a vehicle on any highway or other “road,” as defined ins.192 Road Traffic Act. Until the UK left the European Union on 1 February 2022, a UK driving license was a European driving license.
Very helpful video but I'm nervous now. 4 times on practical tests means 3000 pounds. That's more than what a car would cost

Useful video... However using that term "expat" instead of "immigrants" is not nice. It is a classist and r4cist term used by classist immigrants who don't want to be related to other immigrants. Let's not keep propagating terms like this which only divide and diminish others , please.

That's not true. Expats move temporarily, immigrants move permanently. You can read more here: www.expatriatehealthcare.com/whats-the-difference-between-an-expat-and-an-immigrant/#:~:text=The%20difference%20between%20an%20expat%20and%20immigrant&text=Often%2C%20an%20immigrant%20is%20seen,expats%20often%20find%20work%20abroad. I have no intention of being either classist or racist. I'm Indian, we've been at the receiving end for too long so I have no desire to promote such behaviour.
