Dear Members,

Pls advise that Translation of Visa Entry/Exit stamps are for the Eligibility Period ( 5 Years ) or we have to get translations of the Stamps before eligibility period also.

Regards

Hmm... I thought you just need to translate the ones in the eligibility period, but you have a good point: the officer wouldn't know the ones that you didn't translate are out of the eligibility period, if they are not in English or French.

I think I also used Docbase. They may not be the cheapest but service is good, fast and convenient. Did everything online and they also mail you a copy of the translation.

You need to translate all so the officer can know which is which.
Docbase.com is a good option, that's what I used

Yes to the point that it helps the officer to know which one is which.
There are quite a few people who only translated the stamps within the eligibility period and got called out for it by the officer to translate other stamps. This can lead to more delay so it is best to translate all the stamps in the passports that were included with the application.
