Hi Team,

Happy New Year.

I am applying for ILR Application and need your inputs on how to fill the history of countries in the ILR Application. I travelled to UK in 2015 for 1 Year on Teir 2 short term ICT Visa dependent and again in 2018 on Tier 2 Long Term ICT Visa. I got a Job and offered Skilled worked Visa in Jan 2020 and completed 5 years now. I also travelled to France and Italy for 3 days vacation each in July 2015 and Spet 2015.
As all my travels are before my Skilled worked visa, Do i need to mention all entries and exits or only some of them are applicable. Request to please assist on this to proceed with application further.

Also I have NARIC letter from Dec 2020 used for Skilled Worked Visa. Could you please let me know If I can reuse same for ILR Application or need to request new one.

Awaiting your suggestions to proceed with next steps.

Thanks,
Kalyan

Only the absences during the last 5 years matter. The rest is irrelevant. The old NARIC letter obtained under the red route can be reused

Thanks for calrifying on the absenses, Now I am confused on what to enter for "Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?" Do I need to include my travel history upto 2018 in this session. Really appreciate your response on this. Thanks.

It is countries you LIVED in, not travelled to. It is self-explanatory

Thank you again. I lived in UK from Feb 2015 to Oct 2015 (Tier 2 ICT Dependent) but I mention I first travelled to UK as May 2018 as that is the time when I came to UK on Tier 2 ICT dependent and then coverted to Skilled Worker Visa. So Can i Mention that I lived in India from Birth to Feb 2015 and again from Oct 2015 to May 2018. Do I need to mention any where about my visit to UK in 2015. Apologies to put some many queries on this as this is slightly confusing me. Thanks again

That question is unimportant. You are not required to provide any details. Just put in UK and India
