  • Queries for TOR application

    I am writing today for clarification so that I can complete a TOR application to return to the UK. I am a UK citizen that has been living abroad (USA) for just under 3 years. I plan to return via BA in October, 2024. My possessions will be sent 3 ways: 3 suitcases on the airplane with me, four boxes of documents shipped via UPS, a 150 cubic foot shipment of personal items (clothing, bedding, crockery, etc) via a shared container with a professional shipping company. My questions are: 1. Do I list everything on the application, or do I declare the items that I bring with me through Heathrow separately? 2. Is it possible for them to update the application if there are any missed items or underestimated quantities when the movers come to pick things up on October 11th? 3. I am bringing my service dog with me on the airplane. I have a letter of approval from the airline and also from City of London. Do I declare my service dog on the TOR application? 4. I currently have temporary accommodations (airbnb) booked, but may be able to secure a one-year lease before i arrive. Can i change my address? 5. Finally, what do i do if my application hasn’t been processed by the time i am due to fly? Many thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
