Find out more about living in the UK
If you want to find out more about life in the UK once you’ve arrived, there’s more detail in the welcome guide for people arriving from Ukraine.
Driving in the UK
You can use your Ukrainian driving licence for the first 12 months after you arrive. You’ll then need to exchange it for a British licence:
Getting healthcare from the National Health Service (NHS)
You should register with an NHS doctor (known as a GP) for everyday health issues.
Help finding work
You can use the ‘Find a job’ service to search and apply for jobs
Paying tax
If you’re employed, the tax you pay will usually be taken out of your salary automatically
Getting a National Insurance number
You might already have a National Insurance number if you applied for any benefits or have one on your BRP.
Working in the UK
When you find a job with a UK employer you’ll need to prove your right to work. To use the online service you’ll need to have a BRP or a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.
Where you can live
You can live with family members, sponsors or in a property of your own.
If you’re aged 66 or over
