This visa allows an overseas child to join a parent in the UK, requiring both parents to be in the UK or evidence of sole parental responsibility. The application is grouped into three categories based on the parent’s immigration status:

  1. Settlement in the UK: A settled parent (holding Indefinite Leave to Remain) can sponsor their child to join them in the UK, granting the child Indefinite Leave to Remain after residing for a qualifying period.
  2. Partner visa: Children of parents applying for or holding a partner visa can join them in the UK, becoming eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain after residing for a specified period.
  3. Limited Leave to Remain: Certain long-term visa categories, including skilled worker visas and student visas, allow dependent children to accompany or join their parents in the UK, with renewals aligned with their parent’s extensions.

Step-children inclusion in a Child dependent visa

Step-children can be included, requiring additional evidence of legal responsibility and care arrangements. Proof of financial support, day-to-day care, and consent from the other biological parent may be necessary. Seeking guidance from immigration solicitors is advised to ensure a thorough application process.
