RE: Letter of Explanation — Travel History
UCI: [UCI Number]
Application Number: [Application Number]

Dear Visa Officer,

I am writing to provide clarification regarding my travel history as declared in my application.

TRAVEL HISTORY CLARIFICATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Option 1: Missing stamps]
Some entries/exits in my passport do not have corresponding stamps because:
- [Country] uses electronic immigration records (no physical stamps)
- Traveled within the [Schengen Area / ECOWAS / etc.] where internal border stamps are not issued
- Old passport with stamps has expired/been replaced — copy enclosed

[Option 2: Unreported travel]
I inadvertently omitted the following trip(s) from my travel history:
- [Country], [Date to Date], Purpose: [Tourism/Business/Transit]
This omission was unintentional and I am correcting it herewith.

[Option 3: Date discrepancy]
The dates in my travel declaration differ slightly from passport stamps because:
- Stamps are partially illegible — I have provided my best estimate
- I entered on [Date] but the stamp shows [Date] due to time zone difference / overnight travel

COMPLETE TRAVEL HISTORY (Last 10 Years)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
| Country | From | To | Purpose |
|---------|------|----|---------|
| [Country] | [Date] | [Date] | [Purpose] |
| [Country] | [Date] | [Date] | [Purpose] |
[Continue as needed]

I confirm this is a complete and accurate account of my travel history.

Sincerely,
