I think it's very common to explain that you don't have them. As long as all the previous passport statuses are expired and not anything dodgy or otherwise.

IainMore Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Okay mine took 10 days to come from Edinburgh and I am in Moray and not the Western isles. Fair warning to those who haven't applied yet. Oh and as to my old passport details I put in rough dates and supplied a typed and signed covering letter to say my old passports had been shredded following the advice provided by others here. The blonde one kept the covering letter. She wasn't interested in my travel insurance at all but I had that covered just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Johnston Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 My mate and I visited the Edinburgh Visa office yesterday. Absolutely no problem. In and out in 15 minutes. The blonde lady was particularly helpful. We had both completed the application form showing we were staying for a week, but when we booked our flights etc we decided to go for 4 days. The Invitation from our Hotel therefore had different dates which she queried but in the end let it pass. Thanks to the TA for the helpful guidance notes, much appreciated.

Ayr Storm Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I went to the Visa Centre in Edinburgh on 23 July and got my passport back eight days later. I waited and waited for the visa to arrive then eventually contacted the Visa Centre. I was advised to contact the courier DX. I just discovered the visa is INSIDE the passport. Please tell me I am not the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopyhill Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We visited the Edinburgh Visa centre yesterday and the systems were down woman said they had started having issues on Wednesday. At 10:35 system started working again so we've managed to get ours, mine took a bit longer because the printers were playing up. No dramas with the actual application and during the downtime they were pre-checking your documents. She explained the passports get send away and return to the visa centre in 5 working days then if you've chosen to have them posted they post them, so she said we should expect to receive ours around 7/8 working days.

IainMore Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Only 1524 tickets allocated. I might worry I wont have enough points now to get one. Pretty small allocation for that stadium me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clue was actually at the start of the application Ayr Storm where it stated you were required to have two blank pages in your passport😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bzzzz Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Took exactly as long as the Russian application said to get the passport back, unsurprisingly efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have checked just to make sure nae fecker had drawn a cock 'n' baws in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
