Thingol has just left Hobbiton.

I disagree that Gollum would have been allowed to go to Eressëa (not Valinor, neither the hobbits nor the returning Exiles could go there).
Just a side note, the exiles are allowed to enter into Valinor. Tolkien said of the exiles that they sail to Eressëa where they may even come to Aman, or something to that effect. There are certainly enough boats (the straight road is a one way ticket, no going back to ME) and there are also the harbors at Alqualondë. I see no reason why the ring bearers would not be allowed to enter, or at least visit Aman.
