Let ' s go to VOAT ! !!<| sep |> Hmm , weird . Never had a problem . I ended up working for 3 months at a place and accidentally overstaying my visa by 2 months thought I had a 3 month visa but I had a 1 month visa , got careless with that shit by month 20 and no one said anything and I even explained why I got caught up in the country Lebanon . Guess it depends where you go and how lucky you get with general securityimmigrationIt was definitely situations like these where I saw how much privilege a US passport afforded me it was at the beginning of the Syrian refugees pouring in and I was probably the least of their concerns . Shrugs 22 months volunteering through maybe 14 of them and never got in any trouble . Most trouble I got was overstaying 2 weeks in Bali and overstaying 1 day in China . Good to know . edit Disclaimer just because I didn ' t have a problem doesn ' t mean you won ' t . I am not white but with US passport if that means anything .
