International students warned not to overstay visas

The Home Office is reaching out to international students, warning them about the consequences of overstaying their visas. This is the first time the government is taking a proactive approach in addressing this issue. The move aims to ensure that foreign students are aware of the potential penalties they may face if they remain in the UK beyond the expiration of their visa. These penalties can include deportation, a ban on future entry, and even fines. The Home Office is emphasizing the importance of adhering to visa rules and regulations, as overstaying can have serious implications for an individual's future travel and immigration prospects. The government is seeking to maintain the integrity of the UK's immigration system and ensure that international students comply with the terms of their visas. This initiative is part of the government's ongoing efforts to manage immigration and address any potential issues related to visa overstaying among international students in the country.
