An overstay starts the day after your permitted stay ends. Short overstays are settled with a daily fine on departure, but longer periods trigger re-entry bans whose length depends on how long you overstayed and whether you surrendered or were apprehended.
We act quickly and confidentially: confirming your status, explaining the realistic options, and where possible regularising your stay or arranging an orderly departure. We also assist clients whose extension was refused or whose visa was cancelled.
What we handle
- Status verification and risk assessment.
- Advice on voluntary surrender versus other options.
- Representation for refused extensions.
- Planning a lawful return after a ban period.
