i have reached 10 years so am to apply but i realised my passport expired on 5/june/ 2014. i sent it to my country embassy on 3/ september/2014 for renewal. it came on 12/ november/2014 with current one. the problem is the gap between 5/june/2014 when it expired and 10/ november/2014 ,when it was issued and came with the new one. for this period i can only provide a few medical documents and a bank statement. i cant provide more documents other than life in uk test notification pass and english test proof.
i would like to know wether providing passports alone, english doc, liuk doc are enough?
but there is this statement on the form that states that you should provide a list of documents below for periods that you cant provide a passport and i believe the period they are talking about in my case is between expirely of old passport and issue of new one. i only have 2 categolies of documents to cover this short period which are bank statement and medical docs. are these documents enough?
or does it matter. i have 5 vizas in old passport. the rest has been biometrics which i have been sending bck to ho for each next visa renewal. i also lost my last bio residence permit but i informed police and made application for replacement. i came in uk on 05/09/2004. status all student visas, applied on time.
sorry for using this on reply.
You are ok. SET (LR) requirements does not require you to proof gaps in your own country passport renewal. They worry about your gaps in your visa renwals if you have any.As far as I know the requirements for SET LR are:
1) Photocopy of all your passports (bio pages and stamped pages if have travelled)
2)All Original passports bearing your visas for the period of 10 years
3) Original life in the UK test certificate
4) Original English Language certificate (UK BSc/MSc degree certificate will be accepted)
5) Passport photos
6) Correctly filled SET (LR) application form (strongly advised to always check for the latest version of the form before submission)
7) Any existing BRP should also be included.
Hope I have not missed out on any required documents.
Thats all you need bro. You do not need to submit any bank statements etc.
