Hi forum, If you are an overstayer in the UK and you are back in your country,but while you are in the UK you (NON EEA)got married with an EEA person. but left the UK and did not pursue the application, but you were tagged an overstayer by 3 months.
My question is
1. Does this affect your application for a visa to another country not Europe.
2. does it record in ur passport that your were married .

Not unless the other country asks have you ever overstayed. Your passport doesn't state whether you're married but the visa application could ask. What are your intentions? To remarry without divorcing/annulling?

Bigamy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In cultures that practice marital monogamy, bigamy is the act of entering into a marriage with one person while still legally married to another. Bigamy is a crime in most western countries, and when it occurs in this context often neither the first nor second spouse is aware of the other. In countries that have bigamy laws, consent from a prior spouse makes no difference to the legality of the second marriage, which is usually considered void.

By country

Australia: Illegal. Up to 5 years imprisonment.
Belgium: Illegal. 5 to 10 years imprisonment.
Brazil: Illegal. 2 to 6 years imprisonment.
Canada: Illegal under the Criminal Code, sect 293.
China: Illegal (but tolerated for some minorities, such as Tibetans, in some rural areas in the South West) .
Colombia Illegal with exceptions (such as religion). Although bigamy no longer exists as a lone figure in the Colombian judicial code marrying someone new without dissolving an earlier marriage may yield to other felonies such as civil status forgery or suppression of information.
Egypt: Legal if first wife consents
Eritrea: Illegal. Up to 5 years imprisonment.
All the 27 countries of the European Union (see special note for the United Kingdom): Illegal.

Republic of Ireland: Bigamy is a statutory offence. It is committed by a person who, being married to another person, goes through a ceremony capable of producing a valid marriage with a third person. The offence is created by section 57 of the Offences against the Person Act 1861.[13] This section replaces section 26 of the Act 10 Geo. 4 c. 34 for the Republic of Ireland.

India: Legal only for Muslims. Up 10 years of imprisonment for others.

In the United States, the Model Penal Code (section 230.1) defines bigamy as a misdemeanor and polygamy as a felony. Having more than one spouse at the same time gets classified as polygamy, and bumped to a felony, if it is done "in purported exercise of a plural marriage..."
Uzbekistan: Illegal.

The best option is to be honest when filling in Applications so you could remember them in the future.

Enough said This comment destroyed his day i guess

ok people thanks a lot.

I have been classed as an overstayer, i have received a letter from CAPITA to leave the country if i do not wana seek a lawyer for my case. To be honest i dont want to do so. my EEa spouse will join me in my country.
I had called them telling them that choices will sort out my travelling, but then i changed my mind cos of the future implications of coming back. i can book my ticket alone.
I was told i would be called to notify about my passport but i should not make any travel arrangement yet.
i really wana work into any of their offices to ask that i need to travel and should arrange for my passport.
Will i be detained as an overstayer?

Are you saying that you want to go back to your home country and marry someone else without divorcing your EEA spouse?
