Hi Do you have an expired travel document or do you want to apply first time.

To be honest I am also not aware which is quickest as I am also applying and it's my first TD applications and I 'll do the paper form. But going through the time lines if you renewing then it's not a longer process as compare to applying first time.

Just put EU countries, on both renewals i've put that and no problems. Obviously DON'T put your country of origin as a place you want to visit!

which line do you guys join when you arrive in an EU country and which line do you join when arriving back to UK?

For me as follows:

Spain - on entry used the machine reader in EU line, no problems. On exit checked by officer
Portugal - EU line, no problems

UK- East Mids - eu/uk line no probs, asked for BRP card
UK- Luton - eu/uk line, no probs, asked for BRP card
UK - Birmingham - tried the machine reader in eu/uk line, machine says seek assistance, told to go to non eu line fill out landing card. Lucky i was only person :lol: asked for BRP and finger print scanner.

Hello everyone,
I've been following this forum for a last months and all your posts have been extremely helpful and I want to thank you all for sharing your experiences.
Now it's my turn to contribute.
I applied to renew my convention travel document (5-year validity).

Online application: 12th July 2018
Documents sent: 12th july 2018
Acknowledgement letter received: 07 Aug 2018
New Travel Document received: 17 Aug 2018 (valid for 10 years)
Old Travel Document & approval letter received: 17 Aug 2018 (an hour late
Hi I wanna ask you something how was your experience using the TD while crossing the border? Do the HO treat then normal like British citizen ? Or treat them badly ?
Hello there crossing the border for me wasn’t a problem I went Portugal they just looked at my passport asked how long I was staying & that’s it, leaving Portugal I was asked for my brp. Then when I got back to the uk I was asked to fill out a landing card and my fingers prints was taken.

Finally received TD today!

Timeline:
Applied: 11/04/2018
Received TD: 16/07/2018

Holidays waiting for me))))

Good luck for everyone who still waiting TD.
If you don't mind me asking, are you from Ukraine? Did they give you a blue passport or a black passport? I'm Syrian citizen, I applied for the blue passport, but after about 3.5 months, they said no and asked me to apply for a black passport because I'm not a refugee in the UK.

Is there anyway I can get a blue passport?! the black passport is not accepted nearly everywhere
I am from Ukraine! I received blue passport as I have refugee stateless.
My daughter, She was born in the UK, received black passport as She is non-refugee person but black passport doesn't recognise by EU countries. That black passport valid for Egypt, Dominican Rep., Aruba (we travel to that countries).
What other countries accept the black passport? This is the one I have applied for.

Hi, any further info on what other counties accept the black TD?

Hi guys I already sent out my application to renew my travel document and unfortunately I discovered I made a mistake on section 3, 3.5. I mistake 2013 to 2018 and forget to write my recent fingerprint taken for my Indefinite leave to remain application.
Please anyone in similar situation or have an Idea on what I can do please to avoid home office rejecting the application. Thanks

Hello , Hope all are doing well,
Anyone with experience on applying for TD112 online ,
I guess you have to send your supporting documents and photos by post,
Is it better using online application or filling in the form and post it .

Hi all,

I’m renewing my travel document and have a couple of queries if anyone can help please.
Re photographs, I understand one needs to be certified and signed by a professional person... is the 2ned one to be left blank?

Is a chartered accountant validated to sign the declaration?

Also, the section where asked about previous immigration applications in the U.K. do I need to list as many as I can remember or just the one for ILR?

Thanks

Hi da09aam,
I'm preparing mine,
for your first question , the HO guidance stated that only those people below can certify the photo;
Bank Manager - Doctor - Magistrate - Minister of Religion - Police Officer - Prison Officer - Probation Officer - Social Worker - Solicitor - Teacher,
second question ; on my opinion you should write down all your previous applications that you have made so far.
for the other question, I think you should write your name /date of birth and signature
