Does anyone know what the rule is regarding how many blank pages you can have in a convention travel document when applying for a replacement?

My partner has three blank pages left. We intend to travel to 2 countries where he requires a visa. The embassies have specified that he needs two blank pages for each visa.

Can he request a replacement travel document and include a letter explaining why he needs a new one when the current one has three blank pages or does he not have to include an explanation?

You can request one, for sure. Beware it may take up to 70 working days ( about 3 months) to get one though...

In our experience, they processed it after we emailed them to ask for supporting documents return. Not sure this impacted it, but may force them at least scan them, so could force it a step up the application process...

It took you 70 days to get a replacement travel document? Was the previous one you had expired or out of pages?

I know some solicitor's charge ridiculous amounts of money. But some solicitors charge only £5 or £10 to sign the photo or the form.

[samapply]

Seems like it ,they don't send letter confirmation anymore. HO trying to save money and paper as much as they can ;/

Hi guys,

Anyone applied in November 2019 got their TD yet?

[London22]

Hi guys,

Anyone applied in November 2019 got their TD yet?

Refugee travel document takes 20 days or 30days.A shopkeeper or a security guard ,a taxi driver or any professional person can sign the photo.It is a big joke to look for a GP or Solicitor to sign a photo .When it takes more than 30days ,a person should contact HO.

Hi how was delivered? I assume they are using DX now and did they texted you before the delivery?

Did you also get your old documents back.

Many thanks.

Nearly approaching 4 months this is madness 4 months to print a passport that takes less than a minute.
