What are the implications for a foreign national who exceeds their authorized stay in a country where they lack the right to work?

Exceeding the authorized stay in a country without the right to work can lead to significant consequences for a foreign national, including legal penalties, deportation, entry bans, and negative affects on future visa or immigration applications. Being deported may result in being barred from re-entry for years or permanently, and such an overstay will be recorded in the individual’s immigration history, complicating any future attempts to obtain visas. This can also affect employment opportunities that require work visas or permits. To avoid these repercussions, individuals should diligently track the expiration dates of their visas or permits, seek timely extensions, or adjust their status according to the host country's laws, possibly with guidance from an immigration lawyer or consulate.
