I realised that when I completed my GE application last year that I forgot to state that I had visited both France and Belgium in the previous 5 years

In my mind I hadn't visited either because in the case of france I merely passed through on the train and in Belgium I changed trains to / from Amsterdam (and I had included Netherlands because I had visited it)

So I went prepared to be asked at the interview to give the expanation and a fulsom apology but it wasn't raised

I now keep a list at the back of my diary of all the countries I've physically stepped foot in just so I can complete the list accuratly when I renew even if to most peoples definitions of 'visited' I havn't actually visited other than move from one part of an airport!


But evenif theformtimes out I thought it still saved what you entered or do you need to activly save it yourself (which is good practice anyway)
