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
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
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
