Hi everyone,
I'm seeking suggestions regarding the 'trips outside the UK' question on the Naturalisation application.

If I visited two countries during one travel trip, should I list each country separately or combine them into one trip record and mention any additional locations visited? However, there is a character limit for the justification.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

No need to complicate, just mention the first country, count the days excluding UK outbound/inbound. What is important is your absences, not where you went.

You can say in the justification "see cover letter" and elaborate on multi-country trips.

Thank you for your answer.
May I also ask you regarding the last 5 year travel history, is it referring to the period from the date of application going back 5 years, or if it encompasses the entirety of the preceding 5 calendar years (e.g., from 2019 inclusive of all years up to 2024)?

5 years from the date of application, eg from 6 May 2019 to 5 May 2024.
