Child Visas - Family Dependant Visas

Children; can apply to join their parents in the UK if:
  • the parents live in the UK legally, with no time limit on their stay, or they are applying at the same time as the child;
  • and one parent is living and settled in the UK or is applying for settlement at the same time as the child, and has had sole responsibility for looking after the child;
  • the parents can support the child without help from public funds; the parents have enough accommodation, which they own or live in, where the child can live without help from public funds, and the child is their child.

THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The legal framework for the issue of a Family Dependant visa is defined in the All Parliamentary 'Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules' issued since May 2003.


The parents in the UK must show that the children:
  • are under 18 years of age,
  • and cannot support themselves financially,
  • are not married or in a civil partnership and are not living independently away from the parents.

A child cannot normally go to live in the UK if one parent is living abroad, unless the parent in the UK has sole responsibility for the child, or if there are special reasons why the child should be allowed to join the parent in the UK. The travelling child must get a visa before applying.
