6 of the most popular questions asked when emigrating to the UK
All applicants looking to permanently emigrate to the UK must write a “Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK” test to show that they have properly integrated into the new country.
According to immigration consultants Breytenbachs, the purpose of the test is to see whether the applicant has a sufficient knowledge of life in the UK.
The test consists of 24 multi-choice questions on British traditions and customs. The applicant has 45 minutes to answer all the questions, and need a score of at least 75% to pass.
Breytenbachs outlined some of the more typical Life in the UK tests multi-choice questions you can expect:
- What is the role of the jury in a court trial?
- At what age can you vote in the General Election in the UK?
- What is the name of a novel by Jane Austen?
- Name the capital city of the UK?
- The name of the UK currency?
- What type of government was formed after the General Election of 2016?
Persons who fail the test can take it again after a rest period of seven days.
It is possible to take the test as many times as you need to pass, but you will have to pay the £50 fee every time you do so.
According to Breytenbachs, there are also a number of persons who are exempt from taking the test, including any persons under and over 65; persons applying on the adult dependent relative route; and anyone who is deemed mentally incapable.
