Driving — ride-hail, delivery & logistics in 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
A full local licence is one of the fastest routes to steady income — but conversion rules for Nigerian licences differ enormously by country.
- You can drive on a Nigerian licence for 12 months from becoming resident — after that you must pass the UK theory + practical test
- Ride-hail (Uber/Bolt): requires a private hire licence from your local council, which needs a full UK licence — plan for this to take months
- Bicycle/e-bike delivery (Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat): no driving licence needed — just right to work
