Set O - Evidence of your absence from the UK

[imakandi]

I'm applying for my IRL from a Tier 2 (General Visa) and I'm a bit stumped.

For the question with Evidence of your absence from the UK and Crown Dependencies, it says that `Evidence of all work-related absences (including paid annual leave) is required from those applying under....`

Does this mean that for every holiday I took, I will need a letter saying that I was definitely granted days off during those days?

Because the company I work for is multinational, I have quite a few trips where I travelled to work in an office in another country or going for conferences, will these have to be covered/mentioned as separate 'types' of absences in the letter? i.e. not counted as days off?

My 5 years is also up on the 8th of October but I have a trip to Barcelona on the 7th-11th; will it be a problem if I send my application after the 11th?

Couldn't figure out how to edit this thing but another question:

For this question:
When did you first enter the UK? (Required)
This is the date you entered the UK when the period of stay you are basing this application on started.

I entered 08 October 2014 (date I got my first tier 2 general visa) but I was actually in the UK since October 2011 as a student, which date should go into this box? I entered the 2014 date because it says the period of stay that I am basing this application on.
