I saw an interesting comment earlier. They said if you offer a temporary ticket, it will be noted in the system. If you do not use it then that could raise a red flag. Immigration will clearly know about this and have your immigration record.
I arrived with a return date ticket well over the 60 + 30 days. Used the Thai wife card and infomed the IO that she was arranging tickets. He was happy but I have a squeaky cleam record over 30 odd years.
both enter illegally without a visa. They lie to remain in the UK. Our kindness suits their to get into the UK illegally. 99% are not fleeing oppresion but seeking economic gain from the UK tax payer.
sorry if I upset you but to be honest what is the point of trying to be helpful if someone constantly belittles you and give the incorrect info. The site is a great helpful. Anyway solved the issue.
