Overstaying visa
Is it generally a bad thing to stay past your HK visa date by a couple days?

An off-duty immigration officer once told me that this would normally be a HK$135 fine.

Please do not do this, I do not know of any country who sees this as a minor thing. Some countries ban you for a long period of time from entering their country.

OVERSTAYING

Don't overstay beyond the limit of your visa. The Hong Kong authorities consider overstaying a serious matter and you may be held in detention, fine and deported, or removed at your own expense. In general, British Citizens are allowed a six month visa free stay in Hong Kong.

I'm Canadian

I ask because I have a trip to Taiwan on Monday, but my Visa expires tomorrow (Saturday). I thought 1 or 2 days would be OK, but I guess I'll have to make a quick run to SZ today or tomorrow

I'd rather pay a $135 fine though...

But what I am worried about if this puts a 'mark' on my passport for the next few times I want to enter HK

Better play by the rules I guess

I hate Shen Zhen.

There is a neighbour of mine who was caught having overstayed his visa by 2 years. He got a 6 month suspended sentence and was only not deported as he has a young daughter in school here.

I know 2 days is not 2 years but I think it is probably a can of worms you could do without opening.
