A guy I work with has a child who is now ten months old. He and his wife are foreign. He comes from a country that, let's say, doesn't exactly function very well. So he was only very recently able to get a passport for the child. Apparently a foreign child's visa should be applied for within three months of birth. I have also heard there is sometimes some leeway given.
So to get the child's visa he is planning to get an exit visa, exit the country and then get a proper visa on re-entry.
Has anyone got any advice on this, and is there any way to avoid paying a 10 month overstay?
Question about visa for child.

The DoI are very lenient on the 3 month rule as they do understand it can take several months for some countries to issue passports for children born abroad.
I very recently advised a foreign couple in the same situation, took 11 months to get the passport, child was almost 1 year old by the time they finally received it, no overstay fines were levied, just had to pay for the Exit Visa, do a Visa run, then return on an E-type Visa for the child.
