a lot of Thai people who were born overseas never get their Thai citizenship in order. I understand it's fairly straight forward to get but you need to have both parents in the country, there may be an obligation to enter for national service etc.

@Tod ********

this is great. Thanks Tod.

Toni CostrelasI don’t think this is correct as this was shown for the original application. That was about a month ago.

@James *******

thanks v much.

@Tod ********

will do Tod. Thanks for your help.

@Tod ********

Although I have now got two opinions from Immigration (albeit different ones) and your opinion, I am still inclined to go for a fourth check and pop by BlueTree Immigration tomorrow. Good advice and agree it can only improve my chances of success.

@John *********

Excellent point and, yes, I did. They said it's very unlikely to be until the week before my collection date so given I will be home from the 22nd it should be fine. However, we have a video call with the immigration agent tomorrow to kind of look round the house and so I think the chances of them doing it in person is quite low. Thank you for highlighting though.

@Rob***

if there is one thing I have learnt in life it's that if you need guidance on something administratively precise then pose the question to a number of sources and cross reference the responses. I absolutely asked the immigration officer, I also asked the Immigration Volunteer. I am also asking on here so as to improve my chances of getting it right. So far two sources agree and ironically the immigration officer's is looking the most unreliable (original re-entry stamp covers the whole UC period).

@Tod ********

great. That's what I needed to know. Thanks Tod.

To be honest I wasn't really worried about the first trip. My main question is can I get a further re-entry permit for the second trip where I come back on the 22nd April or is there some rule that while the UC period is still in effect and the previous visa has expired that I can't apply for a further re-entry permit?
