I am not very familiar with the online application as I can't access those myself. And I haven't been following the COVID related changes too closely. But I understand you still need to make an appointment after applying online and need to take all originals to that appointment.
I'll let someone else answer 1 to 3
On 4. , no you don't need to provide any supporting documents

Are you filling the online form??

Thank you very much marcnath. Yes CULLINAN, I am filling the on-line form.

I just checked my online ILR form and there are no sections. I would ask you to rephrase your specific questions and ask the questions as it is in the online form for us to answer.

Hi CULLINAN,

I am sorry that I took the Set (O) version 10/2014 which was an old version. I have a look at the lastest version which is version 07/2018. I have rephrased my specific questions as follow:

1. Under Section 9A – Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrants, page 31. After my Tier 1 (entrepreneur) visa issued on 15 June 2016 and I registerd and start my only 1 business and I have been a director of the company. My question is do I have to fill in the table on page. 31 under Engaged in business activity
at the time of the application and Job creation only. The rest of them are not relevent for my ILR, am I right?

2. Under Section 11 - Passport, travel document or national identity card, page 77.
''11.1 Providing your valid passport, national identity card or travel document
11.1.1 Which document are you providing? (please tick at least one box)''

If I tick passport box. Do I have to send my passport to UKVI via post or just scan all pages of passport and uploaded to UKVI?

3. Under Section 11 - Passport, travel document or national identity card, page 77. In the table provised, they require to fill in number of photograph (2 photos I presume).

Do I need to send my 2 recent identical passport-size photographs with my full name written on the back of each photograph to UKVI via post?
They also ask for ''Police registration certificates''. I don't have it. If it is essential, how do I obtain it?

4. Page 9 under 1.10 Home Office reference? Does it has any effect to the application if I do not fill it in because in the letter from UKVI Bangkok that they sent to me with their ref. BANGKOK\xxxxxxx (xxxxxxx are 7 digit number) and I think I cannot fill in to the box provied (8 boxes which if I put fill in BANGKOK\ then I cannot fill in the number)

I would appreciate for your kind response on the above matters.
Kind regards

Thank you very much CULLINAN. I am filling in the form as sugested by you. May I ask under
2. Application - Created 2 full-time equivalent jobs and What date did you begin submitting Real Time information to HMRC? Date/Month/Year
My question is in order to to fill in Date/Month/Year correctly, we use the Date/Month/Year from the beginning of employment or Real Time information after the extension date?
I would appreciate your kind advise.
Kind regards,

The first initial date when RTI started.

Thank you very much for your kind clarification CULLINAN.

Hello there,

When I fill-in the set (O) from on line, under 4. Documents- there is a tick box indicated that "Evidence of my name' s immigration status in the UK"

Thank you in advance for your kind advise on the matter.

Hello there,

I’m preparing documents for my ILR application. Regarding the issue of spending the continuous period lawfully in the UK, with absences from the UK of no more than 180 days in any 12 calendar months during that 5 years period, I am preparing my details of dates left UK, dates returned to UK and also details of the pages in passports where there are entry stamps when I entered UK. But in term of departure or exit from UK, there is no exit stamp. Therefore I requested entry/exit records from UKVI Subject Access Request Unit (SARU) on 14 Jan 2021 and received it on 17 Feb 2021. Can I provide these records to UKVI as an attachment to support my ILR application because the document is from one of the department (SARU) of UKVI. However, it is mentioned in the note of the entry/exit records that “disclosure of this information to a third party must be authorized, on a case by case basis, by the NBTC.” I would not have any evidence of my exit as there are no exit stamps in my passport, only entry stamps are shown. My enquiries are:
1. Is it necessary to show an evidence of my exit?
2. If it is so, what kind of evidence of my exit that I should show to UKVI?
3. Is it harmful if I send my entry/exit records from UKVI Subject Access Request Unit (SARU) to UKVI as a supporting document for my ILR application?
Kindly advise.

Hi there, it may help you
I also applied for TIER1 ILR in April 2020 during lockdown. Case worker emailed me, stating
Can you please send me scanned copies of all passports, all pages so that I could calculate your absences from UK.
You should upload scanned copies of all passports all pages. It will be fine. Don't worry about EXIT stamps

Dear Sir, I am on Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa. Granted on 15 June 2016, extension on 24 October 2019 and about to apply for ILR on 19 May 2021. I am trying to order the Current Appointment Reports from WebCHeck from the Companies House. A staff from the Companies House informed me that the company report (I am not sure that it is Current Appointment Reports) is replaced by the Company Snapshot. My enquiry is: the Company Snapshot is the same as Current Appointment Reports?
Please help. Thank you very much.

Hello there,

I just contacted the Companies House this morning and asked a person who received my phone call. He informed me that the current appointments report and the company snapshot are quite similar but they are not the same. Therefore, I ordered the current appointments report from the Companies House for GBP 3 and they sent it to my email a few minutes after the end of conversation. Regards

Hello there, I am on Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Migrant. My information are as follows:

- Tier 1 (Entrepreneur visa) issued on 15 June 2016
- Landed in the UK on 20 June 2016.
- Extension on 24 October 2019 - 24 October 2021

I understood that I can apply for my ILR 28 days before completing 5 years. Normally the completing date is the date before the issued date but I am not sure for the UKVI. That is why I raised this issue so that it may also benefit to others.

Enquires:
1. I am not sure that my completing 5 years date is 14 June 2021 or 15 June 2021?
2. Can I apply on 18 May 2021 or 19 May 2021 ?

Please clarify on the matters. Kind regards.

One day makes no difference
