 |
|
I was fired from my job and told I have 2 weeks to leave.
Unfortunaltly I got sick and spent about 8 days in bed and now my times almost up. I need some more time to consider my options and get some money togethor.
Can anyone tell me what they will do if I stay longer or should I go
and ask for more time? |

I'd imagine, as long as your over-stay doesn't stretch too long, you may have to pay a small fine (on your way out of the country) and that'd be the end of it. As long as the over-stay was short, I'd bet they wouldn't prevent re-entry. And even if they did, it wouldn't be for long - just a few months.
Namaste. |

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you happy to be getting out of there? |

Don't listen to this advice. Immigration can make your life difficult if you overstay. In addition to fining you, they can flag you making you ineligible for a visa as long as they feel like it. I've known people that have had some serious headaches caused by overstays. Remember, you're a foreigner here, you have no rights, playing games with Immigration is just not worth it.
Since you still have some time, you're better off applying for a visa extension. If you have a plane ticket or other proof that you're leaving the country in hand, and you're not asking for permission to work Immigration is often good about letting you stay a little longer as long as you contact them in advance.
Worst comes to worst, if they say no, take a quickie trip to Japan or Taiwan, turn around, and come back on a landing visa before your visa expires. I hear Tsushima and Fukuoka are very nice this time of year.
Good luck. |

| Why'd you get fired? (Please excuse the blunt curiosity) |
