Knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom
Do I need a UK visa?
If you are outside the United Kingdom, you may need a visa before you travel. Find out at the UK visas website.

This page contains details of the knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom that you normally need to have before you make an application for permanent residence (we call this 'indefinite leave to remain').

You can demonstrate your knowledge of language and of life in the United Kingdom in two ways.

If you speak English to a reasonable standard, you will need to pass the Life in the UK test. If you are not an English speaker, you will need to take and pass a course in English and citizenship. To check your language ability, you should work through the tutorial on the Life in the UK test website. If you cannot fully understand the information in this tutorial, you may need to take a course in English and citizenship.

Certain categories of people are exempt from the requirement to prove knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom. These are listed below. Unless you are exempt, if you apply for permanent residence and cannot meet this requirement, your application will be refused. Until 31 January 2008, your application will be considered instead as an application to extend your temporary permission to stay in the United Kingdom (we call this 'further leave to remain'). After 1 February 2008, your application will simply be refused. If your temporary permission to stay here will expire before you can obtain the necessary knowledge of language and life, you should apply to extend it. If you do not, you will be in the United Kingdom illegally.

You should read the detailed guidance Knowledge of life in the UK: new requirements for settlement applications (PDF 126K opens in new window).

English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)
If English is not your main language, you can do an ESOL course to help you improve your English. ESOL has three entry level courses:

ESOL Entry 1;
ESOL Entry 2;
ESOL Entry 3.
Details of what is covered in each of these courses are available from the Department for Children, Schools and Families. ESOL courses are available throughout the United Kingdom. The Directgov website can help you find a course run in your area.

Knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom for non-English speakers
If you do not have English skills at ESOL Entry 3 or above, you need to take an ESOL course to demonstrate your knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom.

You must take a course which includes citizenship materials. The course will allow you to gain sufficient knowledge of the United Kingdom at the same time as developing your knowledge of the English language. Before you apply for permanent residence, you will need to show that you have moved up from one ESOL level to the next. You will need to provide evidence of this as part of your application. Knowledge of language and life in the United Kingdom for English speakers. If your English skills are higher than ESOL Entry 3, you will need to pass the Life in the UK test before you submit your application for permanent residence.

The test consists of 24 multiple-choice questions based on the information in the handbook Life in the UK: A Journey to Citizenship. The handbook was last updated in March 2007. You should make sure you use this version of the handbook when preparing for the test. The handbook is available from good bookshops, or you can order it directly from The Stationery Office. If you have a visual impairment, there is an audio CD version of the handbook available.

If you are in the United Kingdom, the test can be taken at one of the 100 Life in the UK test centres. Details of how to prepare for and book your test are available on the Life in the UK test website.
