The UK visa application asks for your travel history for the last 10 years. You must also submit your original passport that has the visas and stamps from your previous travels.
Travel history is one of the most important factors in UK visa decisions. Entry Clearance Officers (ECOs) look at your previous travels to the UK and other “VISA-STRICT” countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Schengen countries.
Travel history is not merely traveling to different countries. Travel history is about how well you have complied with the visa and immigration rules of these countries.

Is travel history important for UK visa?
Yes. Travel history is an important factor in the UK visa decision. Travel history shows that the applicant is a genuine visitor and has complied with the immigration laws of the countries previously visited. Previous travel to the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Schengen countries is extremely important.
To consider you as a genuine visitor, ECOs have to make sure that you have complied with the immigration laws of the UK and all other countries that you have visited so far. They pay attention to the length of your stay and the frequency of your travels to the UK and other countries.
UK Visas and Immigration specifically asks for details of your travel history for the past 10 years. ECOs check for travel history in your passport and the countries you have listed in your UK visa application. They also pay attention to any previous visa refusals you have listed in your application.
If need be, UKVI can verify your previous visa refusals, visa overstays, deportations and entry refusals for all the countries you have been to. These days, many countries have data-sharing agreements and UKVI can look you up in those databases. Hiding any such information can lead to UK visa refusal and a permanent ban.
Keep in mind that travel history is only one factor among many used for UK visa decisions. If you do not have a travel history, you can still satisfy the ECO with strong personal, social and economic ties with your country.
Similarly, if you fail to prove strong social and economic ties with your country, having a great travel history will not be of much help either.

Why is travel history important for UK visa?
The UK is a developed country. It’s politically stable and economically developed. The UK has one of the best education and healthcare systems in the world. It’s a lucrative place for many looking for a better life, especially those coming from developing countries.
Many legally immigrate to the UK every year. At the same time, illegal immigration and human trafficking are also on the rise. Many entering as tourists remain in the country illegally, work without proper authorization or seek asylum. They become a financial burden on the country. The government has to identify, shelter and deport those overstayers at the expense of their tax-paying citizens and residents.
ECOs are responsible for screening visa applicants and making sure that they are genuine visitors. They have to make sure that you have the intention and ability to leave the UK at the end of your visit. They have to make sure that you have no intention of overstaying, working illegally or seeking asylum.
In order to assess whether you are a genuine visitor, ECOs have to look at your previous travels to the UK and other countries. They focus on where you have traveled, how often you have traveled and how long you stayed in each place.
Your travel history indicates a pattern of travel and you are most likely to follow this pattern in the future. This pattern tells a lot about you, whether you are a genuine visitor or you have intentions of working, studying, finding a partner, overstaying, etc.
If you have been to the UK before, ECOs pay attention to your previous visits to the UK. They assess whether your previous visits to the UK were significantly longer than you mentioned in your visa applications. That’s an indicator that you may stay longer again or end up overstaying your visa.
***
Can you get UK visa without travel history?
Yes. Travel history is only one of the many factors that ECOs consider in visa decisions. There are many other factors that are equally important. Most important is your personal, social and economic ties with your country. Your financial solvency matters too. The current security, political and economic situation in your country matters too.
If your country is in a conflict zone, politically unstable or has social unrest, you may be subject to scrutiny. If many applicants from your country haven’t complied with the UK immigration laws, you are subject to scrutiny too.
You have no control over such situations. But you can very well control your own personal, social and economic ties with your country. Proving strong ties with your country can compensate for the lack of travel history.

What are some examples of travel history for UK visa?
For the purpose of understanding travel history, I have come up with two examples. These are, of course, fictional scenarios just to illustrate travel history. But these examples should give you a fairly clear idea of what is considered travel history.
Example 1
Meet David. He lives in Lagos, Nigeria. He holds a Nigerian passport. He is single and loves to travel.
He gets 30 days of vacation per year at his job. He takes one local trip and one international trip every year. He takes a yearly international trip for 15 days.
Each year, he travels to a new country. He has been taking these international trips every year for 10 years now. One year, he had to travel to the same country due to a friend’s wedding. In total, he has been to 9 countries so far.
He always spent pretty much the same number of days on each trip. Most of his trips were during the same time of the year. And, he never overstayed his visas.
ECOs may look at many things in their travel history. But we can clearly see that he loves to travel and he has been a genuine visitor so far.
Example 2
Meet Sara. She lives in Cairo, Egypt. She holds an Egyptian passport. She is married and does not like to travel that much.
She gets 20 days of vacation per year at her job. She mostly spends that time with family and kids. But occasionally she takes a family vacation to Europe.
She and her family went on vacations to Italy, Switzerland and France before. She also visited Dubai on a business trip.
Her cousin in London is getting married and she was invited. She decides to travel by herself since the kids are in school.
She always traveled with family. Spent more or less the same number of days on each trip. She has quite a few Schengen visas in her passport. She never overstayed any of her visas.
That’s a perfect pattern. Her travel history is quite limited, but she has been a genuine visitor.
We can talk about many scenarios like these. Travel history varies for each of you since everyone’s situation is different. What matters ultimately is how genuine you are as a visitor. Your travel history does not lie. So even if you pretend to be a genuine visitor, ECOs can pick up indications from your travel history.

How to build travel history for UK visa?
You can build a significant travel history within 1-2 years. The best countries to build travel history with are the VISA-FREE, VOA and eVISA countries for your passport. This is the most realistic way of building travel history quickly. It gives you a foundation and boosts your confidence to travel more.
Keep your visits short and never overstay in these countries. Research visa rules and know the number of days you can stay in each of these countries. You can travel to multiple countries in one trip and build your travel history quickly.
After that, aim for VISA-EASY countries. Once you gain a few visa stickers in your passport, aim for a Schengen visa. After traveling to a few Schengen countries, aim for VISA-STRICT countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, etc.
Below is a detailed plan to build your travel history for UK visa. I’m using Nigeria and Egypt passports in these examples, but the same steps can be applied to any “weak” passport that lacks travel history.
EXAMPLE 1: Nigeria passport
| TRIP | COUNTRIES | RESULT |
| Trip 1 | Cameroon (VISA-FREE) Chad (VISA-FREE) Niger (VISA-FREE) | Travel to 3 countries Gain 3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 2 | Ethiopia (VOA) Kenya (VOA) Uganda (VOA/eVISA) | Travel to 3 countries Gain 3 visa stickers Gain 3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 3 | Qatar (eVisa, Qatar Airways) Cambodia (VOA) Thailand (VISA from Thai consulate in Abuja) | Travel to 3 countries Gain 2 visa stickers Gain 3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 4 | UAE (VISA through VFS Global in Lagos) Iran (VOA) | Travel to 2 countries Gain 2 visa stickers Gain 2 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 5 | 3 countries in Schengen | Travel to 3 countries Gain 1 visa sticker Gain 1-3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 6 | 3 countries in Schengen | Travel to 3 countries Gain 1 visa sticker Gain 1-3 entry/exit stamps |
- Total countries traveled: 17 countries
- Total visas: 9 stickers
- Total time: 2 years
EXAMPLE 2: Egypt passport
| TRIP | COUNTRIES | RESULT |
| Trip 1 | Iran (VISA-FREE) Jordan (VISA-FREE) | Travel to 2 countries Gain 2 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 2 | Ethiopia (VOA) Kenya (VOA) Uganda (VOA/eVISA) | Travel to 3 countries Gain 3 visa stickers Gain 3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 3 | Thailand (VISA from Thai consulate in Cairo) Cambodia (VOA) Laos (VOA) | Travel to 3 countries Gain 3 visa stickers Gain 3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 4 | Singapore (VISA from VFS Global) Malaysia (VISA-FREE) Indonesia (VISA-FREE) | Travel to 3 countries Gain 2 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 5 | 3 countries in Schengen | Travel to 3 countries Gain 1 visa sticker Gain 1-3 entry/exit stamps |
| Trip 6 | 3 countries in Schengen | Travel to 3 countries Gain 1 visa sticker Gain 1-3 entry/exit stamps |
- Total countries traveled: 17 countries
- Total visas: 8 visa stickers
- Total time: 2 years

Just to wrap up, I would like to reiterate that travel history is one of the important factors in UK visa decisions. Travel history shows that you are a genuine visitor and have complied with the immigration laws of the countries you have visited. Previous travel to the UK and other “VISA-STRICT” countries such as US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Schengen countries is essential.
Travel history is only one factor among many others used for UK visa decisions. You must still prove that you have strong personal, social and economic ties with your country.
If you have any questions about travel history, leave a comment below. I will answer them as soon as I can.
Galina says
Hi. I’m a Russian citizen who applied for a 10-year multi-entry visa for the UK. I have traveled to many countries in the past 10 years such as the UK, USA, Canada, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Indonesia and Singapore. Will this be sufficient for me to be granted a 10 year uk visa?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Galina! Not really. Travel history is very important but it’s only one factor among many. You will have to satisfy the ECO that you have strong ties with your country, have the financial means to travel and have obligations to return back.
YH Liu says
Hello Sir, my son is Canadian with a US green card and resides in the USA. All of his travels in the past year have been between Canada and the USA. He is now applying for a UK student visa. For his most recent two visits over the past 10 years to Australia, Canada, NZ, Switzerland, USA, and the EU as requested on the application, should he enter his Canada and USA travel history?
Please advise. Thank you!
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Liu! Yes, he can enter Canada and US travel history for that question.
Claire says
Hello, I applied for a skilled worker Visa. I’ve just noticed a mistake about the countries I visited. I forgot to write that I visited Colombia, Mexico and Singapore during the last ten years as a tourist. However, it is written on my passport. How bad is it? My application has been submitted. Thanks for your help
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Claire! Unfortunately, I don’t know much about skilled worker visas and how important is travel history for the type of visa. For a tourist visa though, travel history is very important. If that were the only countries you have traveled to, then I suggest canceling that application and doing another one. If you haven’t given your biometrics yet, you can request a full refund of your visa fee. If you have traveled to many countries in the last ten years but you have forgotten to mention three countries, then it’s not a big deal. You can simply mention those three countries in your cover letter.
Sam says
Hello good morning, when filling out the visa application online it stated that if I have ever traveled to other countries in the past 10 years. YES/NO. I forgot to click on YES because I have been to Dubai once and I never overstayed. Please will it be an issue for my student visa?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Sam! First, I don’t know much about student visas. Therefore, I’m not sure how relevant travel history is for student visas. Second, non-mentioning of UAE may not be used against you but it would definitely help if you had mentioned it. Travel history strengthens your application.
Abubakar Sadiq Umar says
Hi, I am applying for a 5-year UK Visa and I can’t remember the exact dates I last visited the UK. But I remember visiting in 2012 for a training seminar. How do I record such history because I have lost my old passport that has the information?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Abubakar! You can enter a tentative date. And, mention that you have forgotten the exact date in your extra information section and cover letter. But going forward, always scan your passport and note down all the dates of your travels. Not the only UK, but many visa applications ask for dates of your previous travels, so it will come in handy.
Muhammed Marena says
Hi, does the UK share travel history including previous visa refusals with Italy? I have recently submitted my UK visa application and have submitted my biometrics as well but I realized that I chose no for previous visa denial. I was denied an Italy Student visa 8 months ago.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Muhammed! I’m not aware of any treaty or evidence supporting immigration/biometric data sharing between EU/Schengen and UK. But, the UK was part of the EU until recently so there may be a chance that they share data. That being said, ECO may not dig into your visa refusals if you have everything else good and meets the requirements.
Daniel says
Good evening sir, I applied for UK visa from Nigeria. I have two refusals in the past 2011 and 2012 but I declared only 2012 refusal. Will it be a problem not declaring the 2011 refusal?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Daniel! UKVI will have records of all your previous refusals. Not disclosing any previous refusals will be used against you as hiding information. So it’s difficult to say whether ECO will refuse your visa based on this. If your application meets all requirements and you satisfy the ECO, then the ECO may not consider this a serious issue.
Ajibade says
Good day, a friend of mine once had both US and South Africa visas denied, but she only disclosed that of the US in her UK dependant application. South Africa’s own was not mentioned at all. Will this have any negative effect on her application? She already did her biometrics. Thanks.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Ajibade! My knowledge and experience are only in “tourist” visas. So I will answer your questions as if it was a tourist visa. South Africa is a Common Wealth country, so South Africa and UK may share visa information. If UKVI comes to know about it, they can use this against her. Since she already did her biometrics, there isn’t much she can do. So let’s hope for the best.
Luis says
Hi, my friend is applying for UK student visa but my friend overstayed her visa in another country for over 2 years.Is this a reason for refusal Plus this fiend financial situation and ties back home are not great.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Luis! My knowledge and experience are only in “tourist” visas. So I will answer your questions as if it was a tourist visa. She will have to mention her overstay details in her UK visa application. Her overstay record ruins her profile as a genuine traveler, so it can be an issue. But if she makes an effort to explain it well in her UK visa application and cover letter, then it may not a big issue.
Elena says
Hello, I omitted to enter that I went to Taiwan for my UK Visa. And in my passport we can clearly see the stamps of the entry and exit dates. Am I risking a visa approval?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Elena! If you don’t have much travel history, then yes it’s a risk you would be taking. If you haven’t done the biometric appointment yet, you can cancel your application and get a full refund of your visa fee payment. Refunds will take up to 8 weeks. Then you fill a new one making sure you enter Taiwan this time.
If you have considerable travel history, then forgetting to enter one will not be a problem. You could just add Taiwan in your cover letter and mention that you have forgotten to include it in your visa application. If you mention it in your cover letter, you will be fine.
Motaz Amin says
Hello, I am a Sudanese citizen living and working in KSA. I am required to state all visits to my home country as part of my travel history (I travel quite a lot to Sudan to visit my family during quick breaks) or should I focus on travel to countries other than my own? Thank you.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Amin! You don’t have to mention your trips back home in your travel history section. But if you plan to do so, just mention your latest trip details.
Thoko says
My previous passport with the highest number of stamps to other countries was renewed so I can’t prove my travel history anymore. Since then my previous passport only has one or two stamps from 2019. I don’t have any travel history to any Visa required countries but my trip is being sponsored by my Aunt since I’m only a university student. Should I still risk applying for the visa?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Thoko! For proving your travel history, you must indicate all the countries you have been to in the last 10 years in your UK visa application and provide a scan of all your old visas and stamps. It doesn’t matter whether you have renewed your passport or not, all you need is a scan of your visas and stamps.
Thangam says
Hi Thirumal. I recently applied for a UK visitor visa. I have a brand new passport with one stamp (a work-related trip to Ireland). I scanned in color copies of my expired passport ( 2011-2021) over the last 10 years ( showing visas for the USA, Canada, and Australia – although Australia does not give a visa vignette, India and many African countries). However, I did not scan in my previous passport 2001- 2011 which also had USA, Canada, Australia, Schengen for France, Spain. Would that have given me a stronger position? I have already submitted documents and now awaiting a decision.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Thangam! You have strong travel history in the last 10 years, so I wouldn’t worry too much. UKVI, of course, emphasizes travel history to UK and Schengen. So, providing those Schengen visas from your older passport (2001-2011) would have helped a bit, I personally think you are fine.
Jan says
Hi, I just wanted to know if that 10 year travel history starts from the entry date? Example 2011 was the entry date and exited 2012. I would like to know if this will be a problem if not declared. Btw, this is for a skilled worker visa.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Jan! I don’t know much about skilled worker visas, but for a tourist visa, the travel history starts from the entry date.
Sounanda Bolivong says
Hi, I am a Lao citizen studying in Ireland and currently applying for a UK visitor visa. I have mentioned my travel history in the application. However, I don’t have my original passports with me to prove my travel history as they already expired. I do have the scanned version of the old passports though showing the visa pages and entry/exit stamps. Would this be a problem if I couldn’t show the original passports?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Sounanda! Old original passport is not required. For travel history, you will upload scanned copies of your visas/stamps from your new and old passports. On the day of your appointment, you will submit only your new passport.
King J says
I have traveled to a particular country severally since 2012. Now I am applying for a UK visa. How do complete my travel history? Do I have to record every trip or either the first or the last?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi King J! Enter each country once. If you have traveled to a country several times, then enter just the most recent trip.
June says
Hey! I might not remember all the countries that I have been to in the past 10 years. Would it be okay if I leave out a few unintentionally?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi June! Yes. If you can mention at least 5 or more countries, you should be fine.
Ramanan says
(1) My 3 children are in Australia, the UK, and the USA and I hold Indian PP.
(2) I visited all these countries when working in UAE and am now retired ( aged 70+)
(3) Now my 10 year UK visa expired and I am held up in the USA due to Covid
(4) Can I apply from the USA for the UK visit visa as I hardly stay in India except for 1 or 2 months in a year and with any one of my children
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Ramanan! Yes. You can apply for your UK visa while you are in the USA. You don’t have to be in India for that.
Adil says
I am living and working in Qatar since 8 years. I am a Pakistani citizen and I have no travel history to other countries. But the ties between Qatar and UK are good enough. Should I maintain my bank statement and directly apply for UK tourist visa? Or should I make my travel history first and travel to Turkey, Georgia, Azerbahijan or any Schengen country first? Your reply is much appreciated.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Adil! Travel history is important but it’s not mandatory. If you lack travel history, to make a strong case, you must be strong in other areas such as employment, financial, family and economic ties. If you feel that you are not strong in one of these areas, I suggest building travel history first. Yes, the countries you mentioned and any Schengen countries will work.
Jamie says
Does the UK share travel database with Asian countries like Korea, China and Japan?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Jamie! A reader who was charged for an offense in China was refused a UK visa for not disclosing it. That tells that they do share some information but I’m not sure about travel information in particular.
Shireen says
Hi Thirumal, I am Indian but reside in Saudi. I am applying for UK Visit Visa and they ask for travel history in the past 10 years. So do I mention each time I visit India or is this only for other countries than your country of nationality? Please advise.
Also, according to my father’s passport, he doesn’t have a Family name but in the application, it cannot be left blank so can I put – or arrange his name partly in Given name(s) and Family name to frame the whole name correctly? I hope you understood what I mean to say.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Shireen! Travel history is usually excluding visits to your home country. You can mention Saudi as one of the countries, but not India. If you have entered Saudi many times in the last 10 years, enter only the most recent entry in your travel history.
Regarding the “last name or surname” being blank in the passport, you can arrange them in a way that it appears correctly on the visa. On the visa, it will appear as “family-name given-names”. Here is an example –
Given name(s): XXXX YYYY
Family name: ZZZZ
On the visa, it will appear as ZZZZ XXXX YYYY
Siddiqua says
Hello. I completed my postgraduate degree in the UK in 2016. I am now willing to apply for a 2-year visitor visa to the UK. Do I have to make a strong case or the fact that I completed my masters degree there is enough? Thanks for your help.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Siddiqua! Every UK visa is evaluated on its own merit. Your previous travel to the UK as a student is definitely helpful, but you must still meet all the requirements for a visitor visa, such as proving that you have strong ties with your country, financially capable and have family/economic ties.
Umair Zahid says
Hi, I once visited the Netherlands. As I had a Schengen visa, I visit four other European countries as well. Now while applying for the UK visa, should I just mention Netherlands in the history or all the European countries I visited?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Umair! For Schengen countries, mention all the countries you’ve been to even though you don’t have all of the entry/exit stamps. ECOs are aware of how travel in the Schengen area works, so they will understand. But from your side, it’s necessary to mention all the countries you have been to.
Deep says
Hello Sir. I have a question. I am currently a medical student from Russia, but an Indian citizen. I have my first name spelling mistake in my education certificates(10,11 and 12 mark sheets), so I got this mistake in my passport and my Russian study visas too. Now I am a 4th-year med student (total 6 yrs course duration) and now I decided to correct my name( from Dip to Deep) in my educational documents and then apply for a new passport for name correction. If I do it now I will have 3 left study visa stickers in my new passport (my old passport with the name Dip had 3 study visa stickers)
Sir after my graduation I am planning to do my postgraduation from UK. So will there be a problem in the future with visa application for this name spelling correction, because they check travel history?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Deep! Changing your name on the passport is not a problem. Travel history for the UK visa is also not an issue. But when applying for anything where your name on the documents does not match, you would need to produce a document that proves that you’ve fixed your name or changed your name. If this fix is considered as a change in name, then you would need to obtain official documentation to prove that.
Baskar says
My son was born in India and we went to Canada. He came back to India with an Indian passport and never traveled outside India. Recently he got his Canadian passport, because of me. I applied for citizenship for him. He was not allowed to travel out from India and asked Exit Permit. He now got Exit Permit and traveling to UK. Do you think this may be a problem of overstay. We never applied for Over Stay in India, because he is an Indian by birth.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Baskar! India does not allow dual citizenship, so it’s required to inform the Indian authorities as soon as you acquire another citizenship. Since your son now acquired Canadian citizenship, he is no longer an Indian citizen. But since he was born in India, he is eligible to get a PIO or OCI card which enables him to travel and stay in India just like an Indian citizen. Regarding the overstay, I don’t consider this as an overstay. He just needs the right documentation to travel outside the country. But I suggest checking with the authorities on what needs to be done.
SANDY says
Hi, while filling out the application, do I need to enter each and every travel in the last 10 years. I travel a lot regionally in Asia on short 1-2 day trips, all international so do I need to enter each and every trip? There could be 5-6 trips to the same country in the last 10 years. Kindly advise.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Sandy! This is a common issue faced by many applications. If you have been to countries multiple times, you just have to enter each country once. Enter the dates from your latest trip.
Momoh Jim. says
I filled in my UK Visa application form that I will be spending 10 days and was given a six-month tourist visa. I ended up spending 14 days and returned to my country. Have I overstayed? And would this be a hindrance in future applications? Thank you!
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Momoh! No. Overstaying is usually staying months at a time. So, asking 10 days and staying 14 days is not overstaying. It won’t cause any issues in your future visa applications.
Peter says
Good evening sir, I once traveled to the UK in 2012, but on the application form I wrote 4 weeks for the stay, and I stayed there for 44 days, will it cause problems in my future visa application?
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Peter! Staying longer than requested can cause issues in your future applications. But if you have good travel history, proved that you are a genuine visitor and have never overstayed your visa, then the ECO may not see your earlier stay as an issue.
Kumar says
How does UKVI verify previous travel history, deportations and entry refusals? How many countries have data-sharing agreements with UKVI and can look you up in those databases?
Thirumal says
Hi Kumar! There is no documentary evidence to prove it. But there are a lot of agreements and alliances such as Commonwealth, EEA, G7, etc. these days. So sharing travel information among them won’t be that difficult.
Nana says
Hello! My husband is British and lives with his other family. We are polygamous. I have my son with in Kenya who has just gotten his UK passport. We have agreed to have the boy go live with his dad in the UK. The boy is now 12 yrs, which is an ideal time. However, I will love to accompany our son for his first time in the UK. I applied for a visit visa which I thought it is the appropriate one because I don’t need to settle there. I just need to accompany my son and be back in my country. The visa was refused. Any advice? Thank you!
Thirumal says
Hi Nana! There can be many reasons for UK visa refusal. Without looking at the refusal letter, it’s difficult to give any advice. Can you copy-paste the reasons here or email them to me?
Kay says
Hi, my daughter was born in Jamaica and her dad a British citizen. Can he take her back to England on his passport?
Thirumal says
Hi Kay! I don’t know much about the immigration law for UK nationals born outside the UK. But as far as I know. your daughter must have her own UK passport. Her father should apply for her passport at the UK embassy in Jamaica before traveling.
Timothy Olyphant says
Dear Sir, do I need a visa for my child who was born in the UK?
Thirumal says
Hi Timothy! If your child is born in the UK, he/she may already have UK citizenship and a UK passport. So your child does not require a UK visa.
Mohammed says
Hello Sir, I have lived in UAE for 7 years in the last 10 years and I have entered and exited almost every year. So while filling UK visa application for the last 10 years history, do I have to mention the first entry and last exit date or only the last entry and exit date. Thanks in advance.
Thirumal Motati says
Hi Mohammed! Only enter the last entry and exit dates. Entering one country once is enough, that too just the latest entry/exit dates.
