Evidence for absences (50 days only)

[imranb]

I will be applying for ILR in a few months time, on the basis of my Tier 1 general migrant status.

My query is pertaining to the list of absences that need to be listed down in section 6 of the SET(O) form.

I have only about a total of 50 days away from UK in the last 5 years (not more than 18 days in a single trip). Is it just this section 6 that I need to fill in with the correct dates and reasons for travelling, or do I also need to submit anything more? For such a small amount of days outside UK, am I expected to provide letters from my employer explaining why these trips were undertaken, and that I was paid proper UK salaries during these absences?

I do not work for my original employer anymore (Was on WP with my previous employer during which these holidays were taken), and have now moved on to a new job. Hence getting such a letter would be a challenge for me. But, again, do I really need such evidence?

Looking forward to guidance and direction from this God send forum.

Cheers!

You don't need any letter from employer as the absences are well within the limits. Just fill in the dates and reason.

Thank you Kunald for confirming that. Really appreciate your input.
May I also please request anyone else who has inputs on this to share their thoughts.
