andiwilson Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Need some information here please or directed to a thread that already contains it please. I've got a friend who is being held for deportation for overstay of visa. Presently he has no access to money to pay the fine or buy a ticket himself. A group of friends are willing to pay this. Is the only way to do this through the British embassy or as we have people on the ground can they be bypassed as I hear they can take some time. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post darksidedog Posted June 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have sent you a personal message with the information and correct contact at IDC. Apple, is the person who is responsible for organising deportations. I have given you her direct dial details. Do what she tells you to do and your friend can be on a plane quickly. It will need to be a direct flight to the UK, so Thai or British Airways. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From immigration website, wow...that's very harsh...and scary... to invest in a country that treats people like that. most developed countries give overstayers a week or two to close their shop / other arrengemnts before deportation. my friend got caught working illegaly in australia. he had s shop and paid all his taxes, but just forgot about that little thing called visa. when immigration got him, they gave him two weeks before deportation, so he can prepare for deportation. and of course no jail. Jail is a brutal punishment for just overstating. 4 2 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth has the British Embassy got to do with this? Have you ever dealt with the British embassy? Their consular services section is barely a skeleton service now. Law-abiding Brits are treated like nuisances at best and criminals at worst. Any paperwork attracts extortionate fees. I have no idea what criminal Brits are treated like but it won't be good. Are you even British? If the British Embassy can be bypassed, I say, "Go for it and don't pause for a moment," and so would the British Embassy! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Australia is a big place to hide out in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sitti Posted June 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) You know it's not hard to keep your immigration status perfectly clean. I have been living abroad since I was 3 years old in several countries, not once any one of my family or I ever overstayed. Not even 1 day. All you need to do is apply for a new status/visa appropriate to you before old one expires. I really don't get what is so hard about this for many people overstaying here.

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Somebody is locked up in IDC waiting for friends to get the money together for direct deportation flight home. Nothing to do with the Embassy. Nothing to do with lawyers, plastic or otherwise. What are you on about?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
