@Bryn *******

It can be a bit brutal........

@Steve ********

Happening to me right now mate. It's my fathers funeral April 12th, visiting Immigration Police officer stated that I won't get a re-entry visa until May 6th (when I returrn to get my full visa stamp).

@Lincoln ******

yeah, the next step was to get a big sticking plaster to stick it down under my chin....😁

Santa Clause definitely couldn't get mobile banking from them....😂

@Lincoln ******

I've sorted it now after much combing, and rearranging my beard.

At the moment it seems that it was required for registering the mobile account, but I guess I'll find out more further down the line.

@Penelope ***********

The gurning into the camera didn't work, but after judicious brushing, and restyling, I managed to get signed up........

Without having to shave. So that's a small win. 😁

@Terary *********

I did, they couldn't get it to work. They asked if I wanted to come back later after I'd had a shave ! 🤣

@Sam ****

Applied through UK embassy.

@Michael *****

Started with a 5 hour delay at Manchester, got shunted from Thai onto China Air.

To be fair, the flight from Frankfurt to Beijing was excellent with loads of legroom. It means a 5 hour flight to Chiang Mai, instead of an hour, and both China flights were delayed.

We were supposed to be here 15 hours before our dogs arrived, but they ended up beating us. Thank goodness for good neighbours..

@Ian *********

I don't get that option when setting it up.

@Penelope ***********

I'll give that a go, thank you.
