Driving in Great Britain on a non-GB licence

You can drive in Great Britain on your full, valid driving licence for 12 months from when you became resident

You can exchange your driving licence up to 5 years after you became resident.

If you have a Ukrainian driving licence

You can use your driving licence in Great Britain for at least 3 years after becoming resident if you came to the UK on a Ukraine visa scheme.

You can also use it if you came to the UK on a Ukraine visa scheme and then switched to a different type of visa.

How long you can use it after that depends on when you successfully applied for entry clearance or permission to stay in the UK. You may be able to continue to use it for a further 1 year and 6 months.
