Will I be refused a residence permit for having overstayed my Schengen visa? [closed]

My Schengen visa expired on 25 June 2014, but my residence permit will be issued on 15 July 2014 (I was supposed to get it before my visa expired but the person who deals with my residence permit is on holiday for one month which caused the application to be delayed).

Before my visa expired, I asked a clerk in the immigration office and was told that I simply need to pay a fine when I come to collect my residence permit, no more than 100 euros. So I decided to stay longer without visa (and overstayed) but I subsequently read on the internet and was told by friends it won't be that simple and that my residence permit might be refused because of me having overstayed my visa.

If you had a similar experience, can you please share with me? Or do you have another better idea about what to do in this situation?

What are the consequences of overstaying in Schengen Area?

You could receive a fine, immediate deportation or even get banned from entering the Schengen Area for a period. It is also important to remember that the 90/180 day rule also applies to countries with a visa waiver agreement with the Schengen Area.

Can I leave the country if I overstayed?

Visas allow travelers to stay in another country for a certain period of time before they must leave. Those who overstay their visa and remain in the country will usually face consequences and possibly prosecution by local immigration authorities.

Do embassies know about visa refusal in other countries?

The embassy doesn't track your refusal, CLASS does. That's a database accessible to every American consular officer in the world at the click of a mouse, so it's not just the embassy where the visa refusal takes place.

What is your status if you overstay your visa?

If you overstay your visa, you start to accrue unlawful presence. Unlawful presence means that you are in the United States but you don't have any immigration status. This is sometimes called being in the United States \u201cillegally\u201d or being \u201cundocumented.\u201d

Don't make these mistakes or your visa/residence permit may get rejected!!
