Non-UK, Ireland, EU, or EEA citizens must provide combinations such as a passport with a right to rent share code, an in-date visa or vignette/stamp, an in-date visa application number if already in the UK, an indefinite leave to remain residence permit, or a passport with travel booking dated within the next 6 months for certain countries like Australia and the USA.
