Hi, I am British and just returned to the UK from Thailand last week due to family commitments.
I hold a work permit valid until November 2020 but was on the amnesty as my 3 month non B expired in June. I know I can apply to enter as long as I make all the requirements for a new Non B but my question is how close to the work permit expiring do I need to apply? I would like to return in October if I am accepted.
I have been told 3 months before expiry date is this correct?
Many thanks for your help.
