Travel History / Visa Stamps

Past trips that show you travel and return on time

Last updated Oct 6, 2026

Educational only — not legal advice.

What it shows

Travel history is the record of earlier visas and entry and exit stamps. It shows that you have travelled before and left on time, which lowers the perceived risk of overstaying.

Strong vs. weak

Strong

Clear scans of earlier visas with the matching entry and exit stamps
Trips to countries with similar visa rules, completed within the permitted stay
Old passports included when they hold the relevant visas

Weak

Only the visa sticker, without stamps showing you left
Hiding an earlier refusal
Unreadable phone photos

How to prepare it

Scan every used page of current and previous passports
List past trips with dates in a simple table
Declare any refusal or overstay and explain it briefly, with documents

Common mistake

Leaving out a previous refusal. Authorities usually already know, and a hidden refusal harms credibility far more than the refusal itself.
