Sahew18 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi, My wife worked as cabin crew for 2 years and visited long and short haul destinations several times a week. We have lodged 189 Oct 1st and would like to fill form 80 out now incase they ask for it. Does anyone know if there is any special information you need to provide if you don't know the dates of each country visited? Her passport has not been stamped on most trips so not able to get individual dates. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 This question has come up for ships masters too. It seems many were digging up logs from their employers that listed their various assignments, etc. Can she get something like that through the airline she's worked for?

Sahew18 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 I dont think so, she left 5 years ago so dont think keep rosters that far back. Il get her to check though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggieMay24 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 My recommendation is always to make a good concerted effort to find accurate information. I'd put a request to the employer for records. If they can't provide that, then check back through her own documentation to put together as much reasonable detail as she can. If she needs to simply include a statement that between 2007 and 2009 she was employed as cabin crew and visited "the following ## countries as per the assignments she was given", and include as many estimated dates as possible, etc. She should probably also specify that she wasn't in any country more than ## days (hopefully a low enough number to avoid requests for police checks). Hopefully that would be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use to travel in my old job as a touring DJ and spent 4 days working out where I'd been. I got it all on a document in case we were asked for the form 80. But we never got asked. So you are probably right to collect the info now, but hopefully you won't need it.

frogian Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I wasn't cabin crew but I had travelled frequently throughout Europe with my job. I just put in everything as per the stamps that I did have in my passports and also included a note along the lines of "and various other countries, dates unknown, as no entry / exit stamp required". Never had any questions asked. Maybe your OH can do the same but add "as was cabin crew, so I never officially entered the country"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxboz Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 What a headache and you might not even get asked for it! I wouldn't be doing it unless asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinkla Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I had to fill in a list of travel to foreign countries. I made my one list as the five boxes on the form were insufficient. I listed all the trips I could with exact dates - mostly from passport stamps - and approximations (month/year) for others. I also added a note that I had made frequent visits to Ireland, France and Belgium for which I did not have dates available. This was accepted. I think they are only really interested in the kind of places that stamp passports. This will not be uncommon. Living in Northern Ireland, for example, you nip over the border to get petrol without a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
