I’m on STV too. Came in November 2020 and everyone was giving me visa advice but had no idea what the visa was as there was only 200 issued at the time 😂 I understand ur frustrations
I lost days last time I went because I went early. They give you 60 days from when it is stamped.
I don’t want to go right now because I am not vaccinated, I have dogs here and a fiancé here. I can’t just pack up and leave unvaccinated and go somewhere and come back easily that’s why I asked the question here. If I could leave for a day and come back I would.
Also I may get the extension then everything is easy I can get vaccinated and then leave and come back etc
