Hello lovely people.
My wife is Filipino and she is currently under a 5y EEA Family permit.
We now have a new born baby and my mother in law took a Visit Visa (6 month) to look after the new born.
she wants to stay probably 6 more months or 1 year max..
what type of VISA does she needs??
I printed the Extended Family Member Visa application but it's says that it's not for parents.
She will not Work.
She just going to taking care of the baby while my wife and i will work full time.
Thank You .
Sam & Joy

What nationalities do you hold?
Is your mother in law dependent (with proof) on either yourself or your wife?

I'm Italian and my wife is Filipino.
My mother in law is now depending on our household while staying here.
But she has a job in philippines to go back to in case she will not have a visa.

Temporary dependency while your mother-in-law is staying with you won't qualify. She would need to prove dependency before arriving in the UK and it appears from your post that this isn't the case.
I would advise strongly against overstaying the current visitor visa as this will have an adverse affect on all future visa applications.
EEA family and extended family members aren't issued with visas. Did you apply for an Extended Family Member (EFM) permit?
Edit: You should also be cautious about your mother-in-law requesting an extension in order to care for her grandchild to enable you and your wife to work. Even unpaid childcare for family is not permitted while here as a visitor.

So the best option is to let the visit visa 6 months end its course and she travels back to philippines.
Can she still apply for a new visitor visa ??

Your mother-in-law can apply, but bear in mind that she shouldn't be spending more time in the UK in a 12 month rolling period than she is spending in her home country.
It's fortunate that you didn't submit application for an EEA permit as if/when refused this would have resulted in a refusal of a visitor visa in the future due to the prior intention to settle in the UK.
