Question

As american can you stay in Uk more than 180 days or will you get in trouble if you stay longer than that?

Answer 1

6 months is 6 months and you must leave by the end of those 6 months.  If you are found to be overstaying, you will be deported and not allowed back into the country...it will be stamped so in your passport and you could find that you would have trouble getting into any other country with that type of stamp in your passport.

Your passport and entry details will be checked when you leave the country so you can't get away with it...anyway...how would you like it if we all overstayed our welcome in your country!
