Hello all, Anyone applying to renew an expired travel document despite the note on uk.gov site saying don’t apply unless you have a compassionate reason? I have refrained from applying because of this but looks like people here are applying anyway?

Most of us who applied have done so before the lockdown was imposed or right after it started

Make sense - thanks. Any idea when they will allow normal applications again?

Sorry, I don't know. You can shoot them an email to ask TravelDocumentEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk

Hi, I have a compassionate reason and I will apply for the travel documents, but what is the leave to remain status letter? Is it the decision of the asylum letter?

Thank you

Hi

I am looking to apply for a convention travel doc as a refugee but it states that proof is required and they want originals.
Does anyone know what proof they require for someone who has lost a loved one. Death certificates are not being issued so not sure what to include?
Thanks

Hi Hermand,

Just checking - the compassionate email that you sent to the HO, was it from your employer? a doctor or you just submitted a proof of being a keywords (ID card)?

Kind regards
