@gparyani I didn't downvote but generally we frown upon questions about situations which could've been easily prevented with a bit of foresight - in this case booking a ticket that leaves a few days before the visa expires is the prudent solution
same goes for questions like "Help, tickets are cheaper from Jan 1st but my visa is valid until December 25th. Can I just overstay?"

@JonathanReez Thanks; actually that downvote was later retracted. But why did someone vote to close it as unclear what you're asking?

@JonathanReez Why would we or should frown upon such questions? That's the view immigration officials are likely to take and I often tell people that in answers but that does not make the question illegitimate.

@Relaxed to me it shows a lack of planning on OPs side. I would also frown on questions like "help, I've left for the airport 1 hour before departure and was late because I was stuck in a traffic jam. Did the airline rightfully bump me off the flight?!"
But I wouldn't frown on a question like "The cheapest ticket combination requires me to transfer from the train station to the airport in 1 hour. Is it feasible considering the likelihood of traffic jams in city X?"

@JonathanReez So what? Up and down voting is not there to express judgment about the way people conduct their lives... I am sure we did get questions about traffic jams incidentally.

@Relaxed Personally I rarely downvote anything, but I can see why others would when viewing the same question.
anyone can upvote or downvote anything for any reason - there's no rules about it on Stackexchange
there's some general guidelines on how to use the votes and practices such as mass downvoting or targeting a specific user are banned
but if you geniunely dislike the question you may downvote it
