If you are settled in the UK and wish to reunite with your child, the child dependant visa UK route may be the solution. This visa allows a child to join a parent or parents who are British citizens, have indefinite leave to remain, or are on a qualifying visa route such as the Spouse or Skilled Worker visa.
Who Can Apply for a Child Dependant Visa?
To be eligible under the UK family visa category for children, the child must:
Be under 18 years old at the time of application
Not be leading an independent life (i.e., unmarried, not employed full-time, or living alone)
Intend to live with the sponsoring parent in the UK
Be financially supported without relying on public funds
If the sponsoring parent is applying for or already holds a visa such as the Spouse Visa or Skilled Worker Visa, the child can apply as a dependant under the same route.
Application Process and Documents Required
Applicants must submit a detailed application either from outside the UK or from within (if extending or switching visas). Required documents include:
Child’s birth certificate
Evidence of the parent’s immigration status
Proof of accommodation and financial support
Parental consent documentation, especially if only one parent is sponsoring
If granted, the child will receive leave to remain in line with the parent’s visa. If the parent has indefinite leave to remain or is a British citizen, the child may be eligible to settle permanently.
