Good morning guys, is it possible for someone that has overstayed his visit to the UK to get an accommodation, have a bank account in the UK?, get bank loans from such banks? ,transfer money to his people through any means?, to own a business and even print a business card?, go to church and even be an active member (a worker)? Am just asking this questions out of curiosity.

Anything is possible.
That person will forever be looking out for immigration to catch him and send him home.
Sleepless nights waiting for the door to be opened at 2 am by police and immigration.

Not possible legally because with visiting visa you can't open bank account, rent an accommodation let alone getting a loan. No church will allow you to work for them with visiting visa because they know the consequences.

That implies the person must be a legal immigrant..

I quite agree no current survival tips here, the students are not really talking things like the favourable bank to set up with or whether it is preferable to swipe cards alone? We don't knw The expensive food items dere, we dnt knw if it would be a waste of time to take some food items, we dont have an updated idea of food items that would be allowed? We don't knw the best telcom to set up with? We dont have enough tips on things 2 look out for when getting dat private accommodation everyone suggets? Apart from reading everyday and plagiarism are there other tips 2 note on "acing" exams? What r doz "new" stuffs dat consume cash quickly what stores are we to avoid? Frm what they've seen with students are there other legal ways to make cash? And there again jobs jobs jobs!!!! We need tips current ones..just 2 give us dat advantage!. Epp!! Make this experience worthwhile
I need to discuss something important with you

If you have anything worthwhile and legal to say.
Post it here for everyone to learn from.

Yes legal immigrant but not with visiting visa, to achieve all that you listed you need to hold either student visa, work visa, spouse visa or a permanent resident.

Why not go to another country and study? Why the UK?

Please, unless you are on scholarship, do not come and study in the UK. The government in the UK do not like international students and it is virtually impossible to get a job when you graduate.

For me the essence of international education is to gain some international working experience before you return to your home country.

Please go and study in Canada, Australia or New Zealand. I am saying this from experience

Australia is so accommodating that an engineering graduate from the UK is eligible to apply for an 18 month temporary graduate work permit.

Thanks for your concern but I will take my chances, plus your reasons for wanting an international education may be different

You may have to calm down with this your ant-UK campaign and allow people to make up their own mind. You have been on this for too long now. People have their reasons for choosing the UK and not Canada, Australia or New Zealand.
