Hello,

I am answering the following two questions in relation to a direct Training Contract application. I would appreciate some input, as it is not entirely obvious to me how detailed my second answer should be.

Do you require a work permit to work in the UK?
No

Do you currently hold a valid work permit? If yes, please provide details.
Pre-settled status valid until August 2026

How detailed should my second answer be?
- Should I include details about my broken continuous residence? I left the UK late June 2021 and did not spend the required 6/12 months in the UK during 2021. I think this could potentially be relevant because of the 5 years of continuous residence required to qualify for settled status further down the road. By the time my pre-settled status expires, I would not have 5 years of continuous residence in the UK, and I am unsure of the effect of this.

Thank you in advance. :)

What you have provided is sufficient - no other details would be required.
