Trefor,
What you have to do is get a form from your post office, 'coz that's what I did, then put all your details in that form, insert your photograph, etc..(there will be instructions in that leaflet anyway) then once everything is complete send it to DVLA swansea, with the docs needed and with your payment (postal order, payable to DVLA swansea £50)
After 2 weeks I got my provisional driving licence
by the way I am on FLR (m) visa also, just got it July this year.
cheers..
