If your study visa expires while you’re abroad, your legal status in the host country becomes invalid. Overstaying can lead to penalties, including fines, deportation, or future entry bans. Immediate action is required to rectify your status.
Contact the local immigration authority to explore options, such as applying for an extension, switching to a different visa, or leaving the country voluntarily. Some nations offer grace periods for departure. Always keep documentation proving your intent to comply with laws. Consult an immigration lawyer for tailored advice, as regulations vary by country. Avoid overstaying, as it may impact future visa applications.
