Just a question if you apply for a travel document are they going to send an acknowledgement letter?

Hi,
Based on experiences if anyone knows, does the travel document always get delivered by DX? Do they always send a text? When do they send it?
If anyone received their travel document recently, please share the time line.
Thank you!!

Does anyone know what airlines accept the convention blue travel document ?
I think they all do , but it depends on where you want to travel to if it’s Dubai or Qatar don’t bother. For the list of countries that accept the documents without visas or with visas , I use google
Hi guys!

I had Blue Travel documents during 5 years resident permit. I flow with many airlines and not problem with airlines. I had 3 times connection flights in Qatar (Doha Airport)and Etihad (Abu Dhabi Airport). You can fly with out any limits but you can't leaving airport building.

Airport staff will check your travel documents by phone with somebody before you go to aircraft even you was in same country 2 days ago and 10 times for last 3 months.

I visited WITH OUT visa: France, Spain, Andorra, Gibraltar, Germany, Netherland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Italy, San Marino, Monaco, Greece, Aruba, Dominican Rep., Georgia.

I visited WITH visa: Russia, Azerbajdzjan, Kazakhstan, Egypt.

Airlines who I flow with and no body ask me letter from embussy:
1. Etihad Airways (UAE)
2. Qatar Airways (Qatar)
3. Air Astana (KAZ)
4. Thomson Airways (UK)
5. Aeroflot (RUS)
6. British Airways (UK)
7. Azal (AZE)
8. Air Malta (MAL)
9. Lufthansa (GER)
10. FinnAir (FIN)
11. Aegea (GRE)
12. Tomas Cook (UK)
13. EuroWings (GER)
14. Brussel Airlines (BLG)
15. SwissAir (SWT)
16. EasyJet (UK)
17. Monarch (UK)
18. Georgian Airlines (GEO)

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.

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.

Hi when did the home office received the secondary documents for your friend?

They seem to be taking 75-80 working days now.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing, please note that my friend received an email yesterday, they are working on applications dated on 28-11-2019, so probably your travel document is printed and will arrive either tomorrow or after 2 days.

Best of luck!
