Passports and time spent in the UK

[l3chiffre]

Hi all,

I am completing the online form and have come acroos the following questions and would appreciate your input.

1. Is your partner a Naturased Citizen?

I am not sure what the correct answer here is, my partner is a British citizen, She was born here, but i understand naturalisation could mean an adult changing their nationality? is this the same thing? in other words she did not naturalise, but is a natural citizen. Am i over thinking this?

2. I meet the requirement as spouse of a British citizen so i am applying under residence requirements for 3 years. Question is, Do I need to provide copies of all my 3 passports or just the ones that cover the past 3 years? I have three passports, 2 have expired with a long history of travels in & out of the UK. Anyone know much far back i need to go or if i need to provide copies of all my passports?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply alterhase58.

On response 2, do you mean covering the periods of the 3 years or covering all the periods i have travveled out of the country. In the online form, Do i also have to include all the trips i have made out of the UK cover all my passports or juts the trips covering the 3 year periods?

Thanks

The period of three years needs to be covered, i.e. all trips. The passports with stamps are proving your residence.

Thanks, appreciated.

One last question.

Under Details of your trips outside the UK. In the online form, Do i have to inlcude all my trips over the years spanning 10 years, or do i just have to include the trips over the past 3 years. I well over 20 trips with stamps in & out of the UK over the past 10 years. I don't want to include too much information if it is not neccesay.

Thanks

Not sure why it asks for 10 years history - it should just be for the trips within the 3 years, or 5 years route.

Hi all,

I am about to complete the online application form and would need some clarification regarding the time spent in the UK and passports. A bit of background:

1 have three passports, two expired and one current. The original one with validity period from 2003 to 2011 has my original stamp of entry into the UK.

The second expired passport valied from (2011 to 2016) and my current passport valied from 2016 to 2021 covers my 3 years in the UK requirement. Question: As the spouse of a British citizen, do i upload copies showing i was present in the UK for the past three years (including travels in-out of the UK) or should i scan all my three passparts covering my first entry in the UK.

Thanks
