Overstayed and want to return back to UK

[JavedAhmed]

Dear All,


I overstayed my UK visitor visa back in year 2006. My visitior visa was for 6 months from 1st March 2006- 1st September 2006. But I came back on 1st Feburuary 2007. I was not deported. Now I want to return back to UK on Tier 1 Visa(General). Also I lost the passport that had my visa stamp(1st March 2006- 1st September 2006) while I was in UK .I came back to my home country on temporary Travel Document issued by my embassy. Now the question is that whether the UK immigration authorities will know that I overstayed in UK. Will I be allowed to come back to UK under Tier 1 Visa(General).


cheers,
Javed Ahmed

The problem is UK authorities know more than you can imagine.
So always try to play smart and assume that they know you overstayed.

Now, had you overstayed by 1-2 days due to xx problems, it would have been ok. How can you explain that you overstayed in the country for 6 months? This would be treated by the Authorities as an abuse. Again this is my personal view.
