I often fly into Hong Kong, and I obtain immigration history for the past 10 years. Just be as clear and honest as you can.

I recall from a previous post from a moderator D4109125 (Amber) who suggested that you have to go with the estimates here if you don't have any tickets. Also, SAR doesn't always have the exit dates I think. I may be wrong but in my opinion estimated dates will have to serve here as long as it's not a ridiculous one. I based it on the entry dates on my destination stamp. Not sure if that's right, only time will tell.

Also in set LR they don't have a section on how many days you've been absent they just ask for the dates.

Any Moderators please kindly elaborate on this matter.

ppycrmt wrote:That is the same problem for everyone i think; they don't stamp people when the leave but only when they enter. So you just have to be honest with them on the SET(LR) form (I don't remember but there is a question where they ask the number of numbers you have been absent in the country).

Your docs look fine. You can include bank statements and payslips etc. I only sent my form, Life test, passports, passport photos and BRP.

These data will only be required to the extent to which they are known to the carrier (see articles 5(4) and 6(4) of statutory instrument 2008 No 5.)This information need only be provided to the extent to which it is known to the carrier regardless of when it is requested.

gryphon wrote:Not sure whether a common person is allowed to have access to such data given it's confidential nature albeit it's yours. However UKVI should have access to it. So even if there is slight discrepancy (which can happen) on departure date, in theory they should have access to the data that has the actual date. What do you think?

a) can I fill the form using pdf filler or it must be filled with a pen manually?
b) For my absences from UK, I have two entry stamps (to other countries) missing from my passports (I have all my passports covering 10 years). I have the email copy of my tickets, would they be sufficient to as the proof?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

arashmg wrote:Thanks. I think I will just complete it manually to be on the safe side.

My real worry is the missing stamps from my passport. Should I send my email (ryanair) tickets only as supporting document or do I need to send the additional documents listed in the last section e.g. utility bills etc too?
