How to apply for UK Dependent Visa
Your partner and children
Your partner and children (‘dependants’) may be able to apply to come to the UK or stay longer in the UK.
You must be one of the following:
- a full-time student on a postgraduate level course (RQF level 7 or above) that lasts 9 months or longer
- a new government-sponsored student on a course that lasts longer than 6 months
- a Doctorate Extension Scheme student.
Your relationship
A dependant partner or child is one of the following:
- your husband, wife or civil partner
- your unmarried partner
- your child under 18 years old – including if they were born in the UK during your stay
You will need to provide evidence of your relationship when you apply, for example:
- a marriage or civil partnership certificate for your partner
- a birth certificate for your child
Money they need to support themselves
Your partner and child must each have a certain amount of money available to them. This is in addition to the money you must have to support yourself.If you are applying at the same time as your partner or child (you are applying together as a family), you will need to prove you have both money to pay for your course and to support yourself and additional money for each of them.
If your partner or child is applying at a different time to you, (they are applying separately) they only need to prove they have money to support themselves.
You (or your partner or child) must have this money for at least 28 consecutive days. The end date of the 28-day period must be within 31 days of the date they apply for their visa.If you have a student loan or financial sponsorship, you will need to provide evidence of this from your loan or sponsorship company. If your loan does not cover your partner or child, you will need to prove you have money to support them instead.
How long they can stay
If their application is successful, their visa will end on the same date as yours.
