I am applying for SET-0 , in last 5 yrs I have been outside UK 201 days out of which 35 days where business trip [which could be excluded] making my figure around 166 [hence under 180 days limit].
Now the question part ,while filing form I have noticed there is sheet to fill date left UK / entered UK. I am wondering UK dont do departed stamp so only way to find out from passport is to look at arrival stamp on passport.
So shall I mentioned the arrived date as date left ?
No, you should enter the departure date. However there is no particular way to prove that you actually left the UK on certain date as there is no departure date stamped. The only ways that I can think of proving this is your out-leg ticket. However,
