After Approval · Global
What is overstaying?
Simple answer
Overstaying means remaining after your permitted stay ended. It can lead to fines, bans, or other penalties under that country’s law.
What it means
Your permitted stay is usually on the arrival pass/stamp/e-Pass — not whatever date you hoped for. Extensions must be approved before the current stay ends.
What you may need to do
Track your last permitted day. Apply to extend in time if a route exists. Leave on time if it does not.
Country / visa warning
Penalties and grace practices differ by country. Do not rely on informal advice.
Next action
Check your arrival pass conditions and set a reminder before the end date.
