Hey all!

My visa will expire on may 13. Will I get overstay if I book a flight on may 14 at 1.30am and go through the passport controll at the airport on the evening of may 13? 🤔

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about possibly overstaying their visa, which expires on May 13, if they book a flight for May 14 at 1:30 AM. Comments indicate that as long as they cross passport control before midnight on May 13, they will not incur an overstay. Users advise arriving at the airport early to ensure timely processing through immigration.

Go through at 23.59 to mess with his head.

If you get to the airport early you will make it through immigration prior to midnight or shortly after…you will be fine

I'd be knocking on the airlines counter though at say 2030hrs. If the planes delayed and some flights don't let you airside until they're ready to do so.. Worse case scenario though.

Well yeah if the flight is canceled, you aren't flying that's quite obvious.

never heard that before. As soon as you have your boarding pass, you can go airside

Pretty much what I meant.. However, I've had a flight cancelled before and they've prevented checking in from happening. In turn.. You're waiting NOT AIRSIDE.. As I said.. Worst case scenario.

Not a big problem

You’ll be fine just stamp out before midnight

No, as long as you get stamped out before midnight 13th

You're stamped out when you cross passport control. So as long as you do that before midnight on the last day of stay shown in your passport, you will not be on overstay.
