Identity in Uk / Address proof

[Senonthachil]

Hello All

I am in Uk on a Tier 1 visa. its been almost a month finding it very hard to get a bank account. I have not gotten any job yet. I just got the NI letter today. Any suggestions how to get a bank account with this NI letter? Is it a easy thing to get a driver license in UK?

Regards

When I first came to the uk I was on a student visa and all they wanted from me was to see my visa and tenancy contract, proof of address. Basics like that. Are you applying for a basic account?

It's really hard to get a uk drivers license! I know some people (intelligent ones) that failed 3-4 times before they passed. This also includes tons of paid lessons.

Passing a UK car driving license can be very easy for some and can be very difficult for some. I personally passed my car test with my own car, then within a few months passed a HGV test, and then in another 2 months passed a further HGV plus trailer test, and then passed a bus test after another 6 months.

But then I know know people who really struggled to pass the test. So it all depends on how good an indvidual driver is.

Or it depends on how the intructor feels that day. Or what time of day you're taking the test. Or if you're a nervous person. I would say that it has a lot to do with that day, that hour. Confidence makes all the difference. Good driving while it is part of it, will not automatically get you a pass unfortunately.
