What it means is that appliant needs to meet appliable criteria for all visas that have been used to complete qualifying period. So for example if someone has WP for 5 years, they need WP documents (e.g. employer letter, proof of employment with same employer as that mentioned in WP). If stay is made up of 2 years WP and 3 years Tier 1, it means applicant should hav documents for both WP and Tier 1 (e.g. earning statements to show ecomonically active status).
