Do it yourself. Get the paperwork sorted and go within 7 days of your stamp ending, and go first thing in the morning (8am) 1900฿

Do your NON-O when you actually plan to retire here. Before that you can enter visa exempt and extend for the 90 days that you require this year

@James *******
yes, visa exempt stamp expiring on February 1 and applying for the 30 day extension. I know it just gotta do what they say, was more querying here to see if anyone else had experienced going at 10:25 and basically being told to return the following day implying 10:25 was too late
Stephen ********
@James *******
yes. I understand being told on the 23rd to return the following week as it was outside the 7 days remaining. But the way I understood what happened today was that I arrived too late to apply today 🤷‍♂️ never heard of that before

@James *******
i didn't even get into the queue to hand over my passport, simply told to return tomorrow and that it opens at 8am 🤷‍♂️

the common travel area beten the UK and the Republic of Ireland is still in place.
Stephen ********
BUT, with you being Irish maybe it will be difficult to get a UK visitor visa. The same 'should' work with an Irish visa due to the common travel agreement. Good luck
