Bring Your Dependents To The UK
Want to live in the UK along with your family? The Dependent Visa process helps UK citizens and certain visa holders call their dependents to live with them in the UK. With this visa you can bring your spouse or partner, children, parents and other close relatives to the UK. AtoZ Serwis Puls can help you understand the intricacies of the dependent visa and apply with the highest chances of success.
Dependents include:
Spouse or legal partner
Child under 18
Child over 18 if they’re currently in the UK as a dependent
Financial proof:
The applicant must prove that he can support his dependents when they are in the UK. He must prove that he has the required funds by showing his bank statement.
UK Dependent Visa Details
There are various methods for you to get a Dependent visa for your family. These include:
- Applying for a dependent visa as a Tier 2 visa holder: You can bring your spouse and children under this program. You can study and work in the UK under this visa, with some restrictions. After a period of 5 years, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain, which means you can apply to settle permanently in the UK
- UK Parent, Spouse or Child Visa: British citizens and settled individuals can call their dependent spouse, parents or children who are not currently in the UK to live with them. This visa will be valid for a period of 2 years and 6 months and can be extended
Documets Required
A dependent can choose to apply for the visa either within or outside the UK.
The documentation required for the Dependent Visa depends on the route you are applying through. Typically the documents required include:
- Passport & travel history
- Background documentation
- Spouse/partner documentation including marriage certificate
- Other proof of relationship
- Income proof of sponsor to show adequate finances
- Completed application & consulate fees
- English language skills (not essential for elderly parents you are caring for, based on documents you provide)
- If calling your child, they must be under the age of 18 at the time of application
Applying from within UK
Dependents can apply to stay with their family members if they have come to the UK on a family visa. If they have come on another visa, they can switch to a family visa to stay with their spouse, child or parent.
Applying from outside UK
Dependents can apply for a family visa to live with their spouse or partner, child, parent or a relative.
