Dealing with overstay

Post by fsdfdsdf »

Long story short my passport was stolen. I mean I could pay to get it back but it was cheaper to get a new one. Now have a new one but I'm in overstay. My usual agent won't deal with it and tells me to go to immigration. I'm worried if I do that I might end up being detained. Any ideas how this is usually dealt with?

Depends on how long you overstayed.

Its a long story but I'm not actually sure. I was hoping the agent could tell me. I would think about 2 months

You never had a copy of your passport and visa?

I'm guessing immigration must have it on record when your visa expired so as long as you can cover the fine ($10 a day) you won't be detained. If they don't know when it expired, then I don't know... but as long as you have money you won't be getting locked up.

Problem is I will have to organize the money and possibly have my embassy despute their decission and I don't want to be detained while I do these things.

Yes, have your people talk to their people. That’ll sort it. 8)
