Child Dependent

Children can apply as dependants on a Family Visa if they are under 18, or were under 18 when they were first included on the visa and don’t live an independent life. Family reunion rules state that the child must be financially supported without recourse to public funds. It’s essential that parents demonstrate that they have the adequate living space for the child in the UK. For specific details on the requirements for children to join their parents, the Immigration Rules Appendix Family Reunion – Protection offers comprehensive guidelines.
