Is holiday is an absence

[iqkhanuk]

Hi

I am filling the form for 5yr T1 to ILR looking at section 6.1 re absences.

Do I need to fill in holidays details which are less than 30 days as well.

[CR001]

All absences from the UK must be declared.

Thanks CR001

do we need to provide the evidence for this.

Normally the passport has got the stamps of entry / exit.

Thanks Vinnay

This is my 2nd company in UK. I have been out from UK for 29 days.

I have taken the holidays but was in UK.

I am not on self employment and staff employee.

Do I still need a letter from company. Company letter will not show that I was in UK.

Evidence in the form of a letter from the employer which sets out the reasons for the absences, including annual leave, must be provided. Where short visits outside the UK, on weekends or other non-working days have taken place, evidence from the employer should be provided to confirm the applicant’s normal working pattern and show the absences occurred during a non-working period. Tier 1 (General) applicants who are self-employed or in business must provide a letter of explanation of their business-related absences.

However, if you were in the UK, then you were not absent from the UK.
