What is a Dependent Visa UK?
A UK dependent visa allows family members to join their relatives who are already residing in the UK legally. This includes spouses, children, or parents. It serves as a pathway for families to be reunited while adhering to UK immigration laws.
- The eligibility for a dependent visa varies depending on your relationship with the primary applicant. The primary applicant must hold a qualifying visa, such as:
- A Student Visa
- A Skilled Worker Visa (formerly Tier 2 General)
