Clarification on Application Answers and Supporting Documents
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2025 10:44 pm
Good evening,
I recently submitted my application and have already booked an appointment for mid-November.
However, after reading some articles, I realised I may have made a mistake on one of my answers (I misunderstood the question):
Do you have any dependants not applying with you at this time?
I answered Yes, thinking of my child, but I now realise that since he is British (born in the UK and holds a British passport), the correct answer should have been No.
Will this cause any issue with my application?
Regarding the evidence I need to upload before my appointment, I currently have the following:
1. Copy of all passport pages
2. Degree certificate
3. Proof of residency (as a Non-EEA national — passport stamps to show residence over the relevant 3- or 5-year period)
4. Referees
My question is about the proof of residency. I have passport stamps from trips abroad, but most are from the arrival countries. I only have three UK entry stamps from Heathrow (in 2020, 2022, and 2023). Would these be sufficient to prove my residency in the UK?
If so, should I simply upload one full scan of my passport (to cover both 1 & 3)? Also, under which category should I upload it on the TLS website (e.g., Proof of application, Evidence of residency, Other, etc.)?
Thank you very much for your time and help.
