ILR additional evidence of absence

HI all,

I am currently under a T2 Visa and am applying for ILR. while uploading supporting documents (is it UKVCAS?) on the portal, there is a section asking for: "Other evidence of reasons for absences from the UK"

Assuming i have letters from my employer (current) of my annual leave being approved (not over 180 days#)

what should i provide here?

and, if my current employer is my second employer, and i am unable to obtain said letter from my first employer, what should I upload as "Letter(s) from employer(s) detailing reasons for work-related absences including periods of paid annual leave from the UK and Crown Dependencies "?

TL:DR i have a letter of absence from current employer but might not be able to obtain letter from previous employer, what should i upload?

many thanks

You don't need anything from previous employers.

The letter from current employer indicating that absences were approved is suffice. Also submit stamped pages on the passport(s) for the qualifying period (five years). That list on the portal is not exhaustive.

You must upload all the mandatory documents and for 'other documents', many items are usually covered by the same piece of evidence.
