Question 13 - list all visas?

[mandamoo]

Hi All,

Grateful to have this forum for information! I'm seeking clarification about Question 13 on the CIT0002 Form.

I travel a lot for work so have had work permits and visas in several countries. My questions are:

• I have held many (18) work visas for several countries (mostly in the USA). I believe that I should list the details of every visa - is this correct?
• The Russian visa was for "Cultural Communications" whereby I entered to work. Am I correct in assuming this should also be listed?
• I have a Chinese Business visa - should this be listed?
• I also worked in a couple Schengen countries over a period of one month but did not require a visa for this. Should I list the entry and exit dates anyway?

Many thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi All,

• The Russian visa was for "Cultural Communications" whereby I entered to work. Am I correct in assuming this should also be listed? YES.
• I have a Chinese Business visa - should this be listed? If the actual visit was for business needs purely can be ignored as I understood. If not visited, no need to report for sure.
• I also worked in a couple Schengen countries over a period of one month but did not require a visa for this. Should I list the entry and exit dates anyway? Yes I believe. Your status was implied "Immigrant worker"

Many thanks in advance for your advice!

If you have been "student", "cultural exchange student", "diplomat", "employment/worker", "permanent resident", "immigrant" or "citizen" in any country/territory then those you will have to report here with the "Effecitve date/Date obtained" and if not expired and is "Current" report end date.

So visitor / tourist / short term business visit need not be reported here as I understood. So my response in-line

Thanks

Not needed.. you need to list countries where you have citizenship and where you had applied for citizenship earlier (even if it's in progress or was in progress)
