Overstay for children?

[Davidb9]

Dear all,

Anyone know about overstaying with regards to a baby. My daughter is 9 months old and will be travelling to Manila in 2 weeks. Since she was born we traveled to Manila once before and didn't have an issue. She has a British passport and I'm teaching at an International School with work permit and non-B. Any advice would be great.

On another note, my girlfriend (mother of said child) will leave next week and has an overstay on her passport (Fillipino) which is approaching 5 months (long story but we got stitched up). I realise we have to pay the 20k but was wondering if she will get blacklisted- this is something that we need to avoid Anybody have experience of settling this length of overstay at the airport?

Children under the age of 15 do not pay overstay fines but they do get an overstay stamp.

You could get an extension of stay for your child as your dependent. You would first need to get her a single entry non-o visa. All that would be needed is her birth certificate, copy of your passport photo and extension of stay stamp.

Their will be no ban of your GF from returning to the country for the overstay. Allow extra time when leaving to pay the overstay fine.

Thank you for your help. We will go to the Phillipines to apply for UK tourist Visa and then come to back to Thailand to fly to UK. I was worried she would get a ban.
