Overstaying in the UK: What You Need to Know
If your visa has expired and you are still in the UK, you may be considered an overstayer. This can have serious consequences, but there are legal options available to regularise your status.
What Does It Mean to Overstay?
Overstaying means remaining in the UK beyond the validity of your visa without permission. This can affect your ability to apply for future visas and may lead to removal from the UK.
Key Considerations
- You may have a short grace period to take action after your visa expires.
- Some overstayers may qualify for discretionary leave or a new visa under certain circumstances.
- Ignoring the situation can lead to severe consequences, including bans on re-entry.
Common Reasons for Overstaying
Many overstay due to delays in visa applications, misunderstandings of visa rules, or unexpected life circumstances. Seeking legal advice early is crucial.
