Can HO check dates out of UK on their system?

[higgs1818]

For Set(LR) 10 years long residence, you need to prove you've not been out of the UK for (as I understand) more than 548 days across 10 years - averaging 7.8 weeks a year.

Is it the case that the HO will trawl through faded stamps in various passports to prove all the in/out dates? Or do applicants need to provide e-ticket confirmations for all travel over 10 years?

I'm hoping this is just a case of them checking on a database somewhere, otherwise there seems room for error on this one.

It is 540 days in the whole 10 years and no single absence of 180 days or more.

You are requirement to declare absence in the form where asked and provide all the relevant passports covering the 10 years. You do NOT have provide e-tickets etc. UKVI also have access to all passenger information from the Stupid to check if they choose.

Thanks CR001, very helpful.

I take it that every passport page (including blank pages) are still required for scan? Or will only pages with stamps suffice?

Blank pages are NOT required
