Detailed information about our Amnesty service

Besides wanting to remain in the country for reasons related to work, fun, family or investment, other reasons that might make you overstay in Britain include:

• Having a medical condition that puts you at a high risk of coronavirus
• Restriction by the country you intend to travel to
• Inability to arrange your travel on time
• Delayed response on a new visa application
• Covid reasons

The Home Office will not notify you when you’ve overstayed your visa, however remaining in the UK once your visa has expired will limit you greatly as you will be unable to work, access healthcare or use your records in any applications. You may also be flagged as an overstayer if you attempt to leave the country.

You’ll have 30 days to leave the country from the date that your visa expired. Individuals who want to remain in the UK should seek legal assistance.
