You can apply for restoration of status with your application. Are you doing a work permit? If you do that then you'll be in implied status once you submit your application. Our lawyer said it can take longer if you aren't in status at the time of application ( it doesn't always- but it can). Are you within the time frame that you can restore your visitor status online first?
And you didn't apply to extend your visitor status before it expired?my visitor visa expired yesterday
What country are you from? If the US you can apply to have it reinstated online. I am not sure of other countries but here is the link :my visitor visa expired yesterday

I think they give you 90days after it expires. **edit*
You mentioned that you had overstayed previously without authorization and now you’ve done it again . It’ll show a history on non compliance with following the rules
What is the reason for non compliance, as previously asked ?
