Do UK residents need to stay long in Thailand to keep their residency permit?
My Thai wife has a residents permit for UK, she has been back to. Thailand🇹🇭 18 Months, she is allowed to go back to UK up to 2 years
If we go back before the 2 years does she need to stay for a long period to keep her residents permit
Or can she go for a month and come back to Thailand🇹🇭
Will she be allowed another 2 years
Thanks all

Answer summary
The question revolves around a Thai national's UK residency permit and the rules surrounding her ability to re-enter the UK after being in Thailand for 18 months. The user is seeking clarification on whether briefly returning to the UK before the two-year mark would allow her to maintain her residency status and if she would still be eligible for an additional two years. Several comments emphasize the importance of verifying information, with reminders to check the official immigration rules regarding residency and re-entry.

Do your own research. You want to lose your wife’s residency because you asked people on Facebook. I would love to read the follow up post on that one.
It seems you need to be very careful about intent.
