Travel abroad between the application and UKVCAS appointment

[Marie_123]

Hi all,

I plan to submit the online BC application this week, and make a short trip outside the UK later in June. Is it nesessary to find an UKVAC appointment before the trip abroad, or it's ok to leave the country between application and appointment?

If it's fine to travel, do I need to list this trip in the absences section of the application?

Thanks in advance:)

The absences are relevant until the date of your application that is the day you submit it online. Afterwards, it is NOT relevant

Thank you! So do I understand correctly that it's not nesessary to stay in the UK between application and appointment?

No
