Overstay penalties

When the authorised stay expires, foreigners must leave the country, unless the Dirección Nacional de Migración extends it for justified reasons or a change of migration category was requested before it expired. Remaining in the country after the authorised stay expires is a ground for expulsion. People whose stay has already expired may apply for a temporary stay extension (expired), at 345.00 UI instead of 225.60 UI for a stay still in force.
