DEMERITS OF OVERSTAYING A UK VISA!

Since 1 October 2012 the UK Home Office has the automatic right to refuse an application for further leave to remain under the UK Points Bases Immigration System, if someone overstayed on their visa for longer than 28 days on the date of their application.

However, if the person can proof that there were exceptional circumstances which prevented them from applying within the 28 days, it will be taken into consideration.

Exceptional circumstances will inter alia include; serious illness that prevented the applicant from submitting the application in time, the loss of documents due to fire or theft, travel or postal delays which meant that the applicant or representative were unable to submit the application on time etc. It is however important to note that proof will be required of such 'exceptional circumstances' and it will depend on the individual circumstances.

However, it is obviously never a good idea to overstay on any visa, it is strongly recommended that clients seek help before their visa expires. In cases where a person has overstayed it is also advisable to rather seek help rather than go into hiding, as there might be solutions.
