proof of residency for foreign nationals

Hi - you say that foreign nationals should provide proof of residency to credit agencies. What proof could we use?

thanks

Where have you seen that? The CRAs won't really care about it, it's up to any creditor to establish residency - the best proof for being tax resident is 3 years of a credit account conduct.

For any shorter periods, the bank will need to consider your individual circumstances.

If you are from one of the EU member states you don't need proof of residency as you are allowed to work etc without any permits in the UK. In these cases, they might just want to see proof of residence, i.e. council tax bill with your name and address etc.
