Travel history - mention short gaps?

[silo66]

Hi everyone,

I studied abroad for 4 years but there were times I would come back home for a month or two during breaks. Should I put in my 4 years as a block or also put in those breaks as stamped on my passport? I was going to put all the details in but got worried that would complicate things.

Thanks!

Short gaps for vacation can be safely excluded from the section and you can mention it as one block.

You can be as comprehensive as you want to in this section. No harm in excluding short trips home and back though.

Hi Asivad,
I traveled to Singapore, from India, for approx 6 months for Study purpose, and in between I toured Malaysia for 2 days from Singapore and entered back in Singapore. I was back to India after 6 months of Study in Singapore.

In the Travel History, Do I need to mention Malaysia Tour of 2 days? as my passport shows Malaysia Visa stamp and entry -exit stamps.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not the learned Asivad, but I do believe you have to mention the Malaysia trip.

Yes, because Singapore was your place of residence while you studied there, and you took a trip outside of that country.

I think the passport stamps coincide with the travel history.
