Colin you need to take a letter of confirmation from the hotel as proof of address and there business card plus of course your passport and TM6 landing card.

If your going there to extend a tourist visa and haven't been reported on a TM30 then yes, your in for a long day. In that case, get the TM30 done first or you'll be lining up 4 times.

Imo, you need to think carefully as to how you play the future regarding getting another non B visa. I doubt immigration will keep wearing you being here on this type of visa and not yet after around 7 months or so, with the visa exempt entry which you never converted, still not getting a work permit. I would imagine that shortly, they are going to question exactly what your doing here.

Good luck in the future.

I'm not seeing anybody accusing you of attempting to do anything under handed?

'Technically' doesn't come into it unfortunately. It's 100% illegal to work without obtaining a WP. You say you thought you could run the Non B until the end but didn't you post earlier you had a previous B visa?
Ron *******
And the moral of all this is don't open yourself up to all sorts of problems by working illegally with no WP. Money talks here so don't be under any illusion that if somebody wants to cause you problems, they couldn't because they really can and very easily if they choose too.

Yes. A yellow housebook changes nothing regarding your immigration status.

I've heard it's possible in Australia but I don't personally know of anybody who got one there.
