Well both, sorry I just included the less than 6 months because if your course is longer than that you qualify to stay 8 weeks after it ends rather than a single week.Casa wrote:"I'm doing a 4 week course in the UK" and "my course is <6 months in duration." Which is correct?
Can you clarify why you are "required" to have a Tier 4 visa, as opposed to say a Short Term Student visa? Is it because the course has a work placement?chelsea16 wrote:I'm doing a 4 week course in the UK at the end of October for which I'm required to have a Tier 4 visa,
It might considering checks are being made on departure now.You may want to consider simply overstaying for 7 days. It is against the law, but it would not have any specific effect on a future immigration application for the UK.
Like what? The consequences are that you would need to declare the overstay on any future immigration application.chelsea16 wrote:Surely overstaying would have consequences when I try leave?
The immigration rules have not changed in that regard. There are no fines or further penalties associated with an exit check.CR001 wrote:It might considering checks are being made on departure now.
Exit checks have not been introduced to "catch" overstayers. An overstayer who is leaving the country is not stopped and held. That would be absurd. It is the overstay itself that is an offence, not being caught overstaying. In some cases (not this one) an overstay would have an impact on a future immigration application. Being "caught" overstaying as you exit has no additional consequences.CR001 wrote:It is never good advice to recommend someone to "consider simply overstaying for 7 days".
