The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He is also the leader of the Tibetan government in exile. Those are his official duties. His unofficial duties is that of a teacher of Buddhism, and that of a person who brings the message of compassion and kindness to all.
Nobody can tell, even Dalai Lama himself, because Buddha has made a rule not to disclose the spiritual state of monk. Therefore Dalai Lama will not disclose his enlightenment nor common people will understand easily.
The Dalai Lama has never made a statement on whether or not he believes in extraterrestrial beings, but since he has never spoken about it and Buddhists in general do not believe in aliens, it is safe to assume that he does not believe in them.
he is peaceful and made over billions of people into civilized ...
The 9th Dalai Lama's religious name was Lungtok Gyatso. He died at only 9 years of age, and was the first of three Dalai Lamas to die before reaching 20. He was made the Dalai Lama in 1907 when he was just 1 year old. Thomas Manning, an English sinologist who was famous for being one of the first people to study Chinese culture in great depth, and was the first Englishman allowed to enter Lhasa, visited the 9th Dalai Lama in 1812, when he was 7. He said, 'The lama's beautiful and interesting face engrossed all my attention,' Manning wrote. 'He had the simple, unaffected manners of a well-educated princely child. His face was, I thought, affectingly beautiful. He was of a gay and cheerful disposition. I was extremely affected by this interview with the lama. I could have wept through strangeness of sensation.' The Dalai Lama died from a severe cold on 6th March 1815, and as a result the whole of China was plunged into (mental) depression until the reincarnation of the next Dalai Lama, Tsultrim Gyatso.
The Dalai Lama has visited the UK multiple times. Notably, he made a significant visit in 2012 to celebrate his 77th birthday and engage in various talks and teachings. His visits typically focus on promoting peace, compassion, and Tibetan culture.
No. Not at all. Tibet was occupied by the Chinese and is no longer. It is part of China now. The Dalai lama is a great man, but not a wizard. However, the Dalai Lama made Tibet and it's very precious, amazing culture and religion well know, and thus benefited the whole world.
when he was 54 years old he won a Nobel Prize for"His efforts in the struggle of the liberation of Tibet and the efforts for a peaceful resolution instead of using violence.".

The Chinese government has made life ''hell on earth" for the Tibetans. There have been, and apparently still are, many human rights concerns in the area.
At the age of two, Tenzin Gyatso was recognized as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. Thirteen years later, in 1950, he was enthroned as the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Nechung Oracle was his oracle, and the official state oracle for Tibet. The Nechung Oracle had predicted that the 14th Dalai Lama would lose his country. He also predicted that the Dalai Lama would lose his life if he didn't leave in 1959. For that year, there was an attempt to end nine years of Chinese occupation. The uprising failed, and the Chinese eliminated the resistance movement. Though himself a Hindu, Indian Prime Minister Nehru let the Dalai Lama set up a government-in-exile just across the Tibet-India border, in Dharmsala. For Dharmsala already had an established Tibetan community, and established Buddhist monasteries. It has been predicted that if the Dalai Lama lives to be 100, he will get his country back.
