Hi

I found this site after I made my application and realised I can't figure out when to receive my td. below is timeline of my application.

Application & docs posted: 20 April 2018
Acknowledgement letter received: 25 May 2018

Yet to receive my td, not sure when but after reading some of the timelines here it could be late July / early Aug. I'll update when I receive it.

Cheers

Can someone quickly advise who I should get to sign the back of my photograph and the declaration page?

Hi people,

I have received my renewed travel document today. However, I have noticed that there's no list of visa free countries like it was in old one.

Do we have to obtain visas now?

Thanks

Afternoon everyone, I’ve notice renewals get their CT much quicker then first time applicants. I’ve applied on the 28th of February, and still I’m waiting. It has been 90 working days.

''we aim to complet 98% of application cases within 70working days, although this is not always possible for a number of reasons. if your BRP card has been submitted with your application, this is being returned with this letter as its no longer required.''
