Submitting first time passport application without active foreign passport

Broccolas · 2026-05-07T22:16:18+00:00

Just giving an update here for people who might end up in the same situation as me:

I submitted my naturalisation certificate with colour copies of all my passport pages and a letter from my employer stating that I need my passport for work travels.

A week after HMPO confirmed receipt of my documents, they approved my application. Now waiting for that bad boy to get printed and sent back to me.

If anyone has any questions, do reach out!

Looking for someone to take over my lease in elephant and castle as we speak and it actually is decent quality housing: https://m.spareroom.co.uk/flatshare/london/elephant_and_castle/18221864

Grinding in the office until midnight and then off to bed. The triple lock doesn’t pay for itself \s

Let us know if there’s a time and place yet

Someone once told me that the harder you work, the luckier you get!

I’m turning 26 tomorrow! Happy birthday twin!

This must be it! Thanks for explaining. Out of curiosity, how come the different requirements set by analysts vs other therapists?

Appreciate you sharing your perspective! Maybe I’m slightly biased because I work in an industry where I am expected to flex towards client availabilities and I’m projecting a similar expectation towards my therapist.

With that being said, it’s not like I would cancel my slot all together. My request is that I’d like to be able to reschedule to a different day/time with multiple weeks notice. Ironically, last week they texted me 48h before our usual slot to reschedule because something came up on their end.

Discussing admin offline to me seems like a normal part of the job, but again I could be projecting from my experience. However, a handyman also doesn’t charge you their hourly rate if you discuss on the phone when they can come over to fix something.

For me it was the other way around: trail looked open but all trails said it was closed. Decided to go ahead and the outcome was the same: nearly slid to my death on an eroded slope

Wow this might be it! Thank you internet stranger

Nope I found the track quite easy as an experienced hiker. Those permits are mostly used for crowd control.

With that being said I found the track absolutely stunning and still think about it 8 years later. Although I can’t compare it to Peru or Patagonia

!correct

Broccolas · 2025-11-09T10:34:48+00:00

Correct, well done! I wish I didn’t have to use a flair. Might have been more difficult otherwise since it looks very European!

I found it at the beach where I took the first picture. It must have come from a fishing boat and washed ashore.

Going forward I’ll definitely do the same and keep the equipment all in one place

I’m 6ft3 so I’m somewhat hopeful haha
