The person who overstayed his visa.

Even if the Embassy were to pay for your ticket back, they WILL get you to reimburse them and being the Federal Government (if American) they WILL be reimbursed.

Um, why did this person overstay for "a year or two"? That is begging for trouble!

I cannot comment on other countries but all consular help from the UK authorities comes with a price tag, (except basic consular visits if you're incarcerated) and that price tag is non-negotiable and 100% refundable, and HM government WILL collect.

Firstly, if you overstayed a visa by one-or-two years (and it actually happened to a Canadian here in the city where I live but he was scurrilous enough), first you will be remanded to jail for a minimum of three months, that as a rule.  When the three months have expired, you will be fined, a hefty fine indeed.  If you cannot pay the fine, you will be remanded to jail again ad infinitum where in spite of all of the protests of your consular authorities (which may or may not be forthcoming), you will sit until the fine is paid.  When the fine is paid, you will be escorted manu militarii to the nearest airport where you will need to purchase a ticket to go home -- no ticket, no exit and the entire process continues unabated.  It's a really ugly to go through.

 

The Canadian in my city, a guy in his 50's with a serious drinking problem, sat in jail for nearly six months until friends of friends of friends in Saskatchewan cobbled together the money for the fine and the ticket home.  All the foreigners around here took it as quite a lesson.

first your home country will pay for your return ticket..once you will be in your home country then you have to deal with the law of your home country.. and repay them.. (I am saying this because last year one of my friend was in Kyrgyzstan, and at the the time of civil unrest, his home country lifted him from there..and once he landed in his home country..they gave him the invoice of air ticket and asked him to pay it as soon as possible according to his convenience and kept his passport in lieu of air ticket fees...he paid within a hour and collected his passport)

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
