There’s a range of reasons why individuals could have been overstaying their Visa and cannot leave the country for a range of reasons. Overstaying your Visa is a criminal offence in the UK; however, individuals do not usually get prosecuted for it, and the authorities usually result to sending the overstayer back to their country of origin. Due to coronavirus, the rules had to become more lenient, because of closing borders.
If you are restricted from travelling for a range of reasons, the government has introduced new guidelines to help people, a policy called Exceptional Assurance is available for people who intend to leave the UK but cannot and have a Leave or Visa that expires by 30th June 2021.
