In short term C type visa Overstay is the allowed duration a six month stay or the visa expiry date?

Because the duration of stay is 180 days. I entered UK at September 27; my visa will be expire 12 October. How Long I can stay in UK in this case?

If I stay after 12 October is it overstay or I can stay maximum 180 days from the date of entry even if the visa expires. What is over stay in this case please let me know .

    What was the start date of your visa? It’s very unusual to get a UK Standard Visitor visa with a validity period of less than 6 months

  • @Abdul Not leaving on or before 12 October = overstaying unless you are eligible to apply to extend your visa and do so before your current visa expires.

In the UK, as in the Schengen area, you may only remain while your visa is valid. Six months is the maximum duration of validity for a standard visitor visa, but if your visa has a shorter period of validity you must respect that.

If your visa has been issued for a shorter period, you can apply to extend it. The total duration of your visit may not exceed six months. Like many UK immigration fees, this is ludicrously expensive, costing £993 for the extension and £19.20 for biometrics processing, for a total of £1012.20.
