This is another travel / immigration question.

"overstayer"

.

A person who stays in the United Kingodm longer than the period of time they have been granted (ie: on their Visa).

Una persona que se queda en el Reino Unido por más tiempo de lo que tiene de permiso (ie: inscrito en su Visa).

.

  • Persona en exceso de estadía

.

Is there a better way to say this? Maybe there is a more exact term to use? I've just invented the phrase above because I can't find anything exact in my dictionaries.

As always, any comments are greatly appreciated. Gracias. smile

HI amy, not easy, there is no simple word like this in Spanish as far as I know. Look at this sentence:

... the person will be considered an overstay and may be denied entry to the country in the future.

se considerará que la persona ha rebasado su estadía, por lo que se le podría negar...."

Also maybe:

Rebasar el tiempo de estancia

rebasar la estancia permitida (por ley)

Muchas gracias!

Entonces, para referirse a una persona que es un "overstayer" se puede decir:

  • Ha rebasado el tiempo de estadía
  • Ha rebasado la estancia permitida (por ley)

.

Y se puede decir algo como:

  • Está con sobreestadía ilegal (?)

.

Estoy tratando de ver si hay un ajectivo para decir "él es un overstayer".
