Previous Overstay seeking re-entry [closed]

I previously overstayed as a visitor in the UK for 2 years and 7 months. I returned to my home country voluntarily at my own expense. i stayed out of the UK for 1 year and 11 months. i dont have an overstayer stamp on my passport. i applied for university in the UK and got accepted. There isnt a question about overstaying on a visa application so do i state the overstay on my own or answer only what is asked?

Best Answer

You only need to answer what is asked but student visas are heavily scrutinized and the likelihood of you receiving one after overstaying is minimal.

I hope you didn’t spend a lot of money on the school’s application fee or send them a deposit.
