You are often requested to submit all pages of your passport, (including blank pages) it’s very simply, merge them into one pdf, compress file size if more than 3mb, I used ILovePDF
You must remain within the country you apply until you receive official confirmation of approval or otherwise.
Well done. I merged all my pdf’s into one pdf file and compressed for each section, just used ILovePDF, which was excellent. Keep everything neat and precise 👍
