(How to define "a resident of GB") Tier 4 apply Driving in Great Britain on a non-GB licence

[alex132]

I am holding Tier 4 student visa and I have a Korean Driving License.

When I try to search for https://www.gov.uk/driving-nongb-licence
It ask:
1 Are you:
a resident of Great Britain?

I googled "resident of GB", it said:
For the purposes of our policies, a UK resident is defined as a person who has their main home in the United Kingdom, who is registered with a medical practitioner in the UK, and who has been resident in the UK for 6 months out of the last 12.

I want to know how gov.uk define "resident of GB", I arrive UK more than 1.5 years and TIer 4 student visa. Am I a resident of GB?

"Resident" does not have a specific meaning in immigration terms, and especially not in other areas of life like driving. It means different things in different contexts.

What happens if you pick the obvious option?

1. Are you
a foreign student studying in Great Britain?

Seriously.

I don't think the three given options overlap.

a resident of Great Britain
a visitor to Great Britain
a foreign student studying in Great Britain

That is, if you are a foreign student, then you are not a resident of Great Britain, etc.

I think the definition they use for a resident of Great Britain is:

1 Are you a resident of Great Britain?

You’re normally a resident if you have a permanent address in Great Britain that you’ve lived in for at least 185 days.

Yeah, I had lived in GB for 1 year and have Permanent address in GB.

I'm unsure how they define permanent address for a foreign student.

You cannot use a Korean driving licence after being in the UK for over 12 months.

Try to exchange it for a British driving licence.

Let us know how you get on.

The main problem/question is:
How we define:

1 Are you a resident of Great Britain?

As advised above, why not simply chose the 3rd option, "a foreign student studying in Great Britain", which you clearly meet?
