Hi all. Need advice (again) for my Japanese friend who is on a tourist visa. 

She is going to apply for dependent Non-Immigrant O visa with her 3-year old son (who will apply for ED-visa) at Thai Consulate in Tokyo on Thursday. 

She has all required documents except the "original" birth certificate. So now she only has a copy of it to to show the relationship between mother/son but not sure if it's enough. She will call Thai Consulate in Tokyo tomorrow and ask.

Here're the questions as of now; 

1. If she can't get Non-O dependent visa in Japan and will fly back to Thailand next week, can she apply for Non-O visa at Immigration in Chaengwattana? If so, does she need to wait until her kid's first ED visa get extended to one year?  

2. Should her son apply for ED visa first in Japan (in case it doesn't work for her)? 

3. Both of their tourist visas will be valid till 15th April. The kid won't have a problem with overstay. But for my friend, how much does she need to pay for overstay? Does she need to do something about overstay before applying for a Non-O visa in Chaengwattana? 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

She should be able to get the 90 day Non-O with the documentation she has and her child should be able to get the 90 day ED visa with documentation from the school from the Tokyo consulate. BUT calling them is a good idea too.

She needs 15 days or MORE left on her current stamp to apply for an in country 90 day Non-O visa because of the 14 day under consideration period it goes thru before she goes back and gets it inked into her passport.

She cannot apply for an in country Non-O visa once she starts on an overstay :/
