It's easy to overstay in the sense that authorities won't directly come after you.
But with very strict legal checks when starting employment and renting property this pushes you outside of reputable employers and landlords... So not so easy if you don't intend to scrape a living by sub-letting an Uber Eats/Deliveroo delivery driver account...
- gadders 2y agoYeah, but you have at least 5 years to marry someone or claim asylum.
- pjc50 2y ago.. and where do you live and what do you earn during that period?
- gadders 2y agoBy 5 years, I mean 3 years on your degree, and 2 years of a visa afterwards, so for three years you would be a student in student accommodation, and for the following 2 years you have a visa and so presumably can work and live somewhere legally.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoI believe that the years of uni, i.e. living in the UK on a student visa, do not count towards the 5 years required to get indefinite leave to remain (permanent residence).
- gadders 2y agoYes, but that wasn't my point. My point was that it gives you 5 years to marry a Brit.
