FAMILY MEMBERS

If you need to enter or remain in the UK, you are likely to need a visa. Family dependants are classed as 'Partners' (Married and unmarried) and children aged 0-17 at the time the application is submitted online to the Home Office. If you plan to bring children to the UK, both parents must apply or hold a UK visa unless any of the following applies:

  • Parent holds settlement status
  • One parent is Naturalised/British
  • One parent is deceased
  • You have a court order stating you have full custody of your child/children
  • You have exceptional circumstances.
