Answer summary
A Thai woman with a resident permit needs to return to the UK before her permit expires in 2 years. The discussion clarifies that she should present a share code at immigration, and confirms that no visa application is necessary. Feedback from others indicates that this process is straightforward for Thai nationals already living in the UK.
