Passport translation query

Post by a-gray » Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:15 pm

Hello,

I have an Iranian passport and I'm about to apply for ILR SET (LR).

I have all my passports since my first entry to the UK ten years ago, and I don't have any long absences. However, I did travel to Iran at least once a year (for a couple of weeks each time) and all my entry stamps into Iran are in Farsi and not in English.

My question is: do I need to have my passport pages with Farsi stamps (and dates) translated into English before I submit my ILR application?

My concern is that when a caseworker looks at my passports, they will be able to see stamps (in English) for all my UK entries, but unless they can read Farsi they won't be able to tell when my dates of departure were, so they won't be able to tell how long the trip lasted.

Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for your help.
