Overflight permit questions

Hi all,

Can anyone out there clear up a couple of questions i've got reference overflight permits:
  1. Do you need to apply for overflight of a particular country, if the FIR over it is controlled by another country?
  2. If the UIR is controlled by another country and you are flying within the UIR levels (for example Rwanda's UIR is controlloed by Tanzania, however the FIR which goes up to FL240 is controlled by Rwanda) do you need to apply to the country that you are overflying or the one that controls the UIR?
  3. How far from the coast do you need to be before you don't require an overflight.....heard it may be 50 nm but not sure?
Many thanks
