“Have you been granted any UK visas in the last 10 years?”

Question

I was issued Uk student visa in 2009 and i remained in uk till 2012 on student visa. Now i am applying for uk visit visa. what should i answer to the question "4 Have you been granted any UK visas in the last 10 years? " Technically i was issued visa before 10 years. but i was living in uk till 2012.

Answer 1

The answer is No.

You can verify it by answering Yes to the question and entering the year of issue. You will get an alert asking you to enter a date that is in the past 10 years.

I filled one form yesterday and could not enter data from 2009.

(For the sake of completeness, Month 02 doesn’t make a difference)

They will have your UK travel history, but it would still be advisable to enter the details of that stay in the additional information section, given at the end of the application.
