No. all my visas were overlapped.
Did you have to provide the number of days outside UK in a sheet?
For me I had only paid holidays outside UK, so I wish to know do I need to mention all these?
I forgot to add that to the document list in the original post. As my passport is almost filled with stamps and visas, I thought it might put me in risk and so enclosed few printouts to the main application form:
1. Whole immigration history as requested in section (if I remember correctly) 6. This document contained all the days I was outside since my first entry into the UK.
2. Personal trips outside the UK for the last 5 years with total number of days calculated.
3. Business trips outside the UK for the last 5 years with total number of days calculated. No letter - my previous employer do not exist under the same trading name and so cannot get a letter.
Together with personal and business trips, I did not cross 180 days or never stayed outside more than 90 days at once. All of them are paid under the annual leave. Hence she did not ask any letter from my employer(s) I suppose?
UKBA also released a guide to calculate continuous period of stay.
