&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the event that you have not presented yourself before the
authorities, I would recommend that you speak with your Counsellor
/ Embassy Staff prior to acting on the advice of presenting
yourself to the local authorities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you come from Europe, there would most certainly be an avenue
that you may turn to seek advice prior or provide "notification"
prior to acting on any of the earlier given recommentions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rgds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;U&amp;nbsp;think it will help?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;think Michael Fay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if I remembered correctly...the US president also made appeal
for him...but he still kenna the rotan...which I think is
correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now best choice is to take it like a man...within the confines
of the previleges allowed under the law...i.e legal advice from a
lawyer,etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I think the TS is between a rock and a hard place. The devil and
the dark blue sea. He has to decide which.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To attempt escape, comes with it certain risk, i.e. to be caught
means mandatory&amp;nbsp;canning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But to surrender, leniency is possible, and still it&amp;nbsp;may
not mean no canning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See a lawyer, see a diplomat, contact Amnesty International, get
publicity and hope the canning is not administered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you don't give a damn, you get into deep shit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Thanks for that - just a case of getting things together to go
there. Makes it better to know what you said about the caning being
for if you get caught. Anything else isn't so bad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MattUK,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Something just occured to me the other day after I had posted
but as I got caught up with my work I just came across another idea
to solve your problem. Please PM if you are interested and
sincerely would want your problems resolved without implicating
anybody.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think you should not hesitate anymore and make a visit to the
Visitor Services Centre, 4th Storey, ICA Building tomorrow morning
and look for the officer in charge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do not think there will be a harsh punishment for you if you
own up. I think the caning is for those who are caught in a sting
operation and/or spot checks. I am sure the officer in charge will
give you a chance to explain yourself and review your case. Just
remember to bring your passport and valid documents along i.e. the
disembarkation card and other documents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suggest you do not mention about your temporary work and
staying arrangements to implicate people and yourself. I am sure
you are not staying in a hotel as they will be sure to know that
you have overstayed. Whatever, it is please do not delay as you are
in a very precarious situation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To give you the info. 1. It is a UK passport. Male aged 24. 2. Visa
was for one month - nearly 5 months over now. 3. Liked the country
and started seeing a local girl but that's over now. 4. No
extension to passport. 5. Not yet but will get one if it helps.
Been working casually but employer thinks it's a differnt visa. I
know the right thing to do is go to immigration but hearing about
what could happen with jail and the cane is hard to think
about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

To give you the info. 1. It is a UK passport. Male aged 24. 2. Visa
was for one month - nearly 5 months over now. 3. Liked the country
and started seeing a local girl but that's over now. 4. No
extension to passport. 5. Not yet but will get one if it helps.
Been working casually but employer thinks it's a differnt visa. I
know the right thing to do is go to immigration but hearing about
what could happen with jail and the cane is hard to think
about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the more U delay...the more painful it will get...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and u just caused ur employer(s) to commit an offence by simply
employing U.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do U want to sink deeper into the bottomless pit?think about
it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Dude, get a lawyer and ask for help to plead your case&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The longer you drag the worse it gets&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's better for you to approach immigration then wait for them
to catch you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seriously I don't know what your excuse is for not extending
your visa but ignorance is not an excuse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, if you have the balls to overstay, you should have the
balls the face the consequences.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I think it would help if you could supply us with more
details:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Nationality/ Holding what passport?/Sex&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Social Visit Pass granted was for how long?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. What was the reason for the overstay?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Has there been any extension on the passport before?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Is there a return air ticket to this person's country?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To have overstayed for 3 months is not a joking matter and for
that matter may even jeopardize the person whom this foreigner is
with (that is you at the moment) - harbouring an illegal. So you
had better take some action and not hesitate any further.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is that right about &#8216;a caning not less than 3 strokes&#8217; &#8211; surely
that&#8217;s the worse that can happen not the minimum? That seems very
very harsh just for overstaying?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I wanted to know if that you turned up to the airport with
your flight booked and ready to go would you still have to deal
with the immigration authorities or would they just let you go and
maybe fine you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of course U will be arrested at the airport for
overstaying....an offence has already been committed and it would
be up to the courts to determine ur penalty....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;having a ticket out of singapore doesnt make the overstaying
problem go away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Get a lawyer and urself into ICA and tell ur sad story to
them.ASAP!&lt;/p&gt;
