What is a UK Dependent Visa?

A UK Dependent visa allows the family members of someone who is already living in the UK, such as a Skilled Worker, to join them. Dependents can usually live, study, and work in the UK for as long as the main visa holder's permission lasts.

Requirements for a Dependent Visa in 2025

When applying for a Dependent Visa in the UK, you need to demonstrate your relationship to the main visa holder, confirm their immigration status, and show that you meet the financial, accommodation, and English language requirements.

To submit a successful application, dependents must meet the following key criteria:

• The main applicant (sponsor) must hold a valid UK visa.
• The sponsor must have sufficient funds to support dependents (£285 for a partner, £315 for the first child, and £200 for each additional child).
• You must have suitable accommodation in the UK.
• You must meet the English language requirement (usually CEFR A1 for initial applications), unless you qualify for an exemption.
• Any additional requirements that may apply to your specific circumstances.

Our UK dependent visa solicitors in London can help you meet these requirements, prepare your evidence, and submit a strong visa application.

Our specialist family & dependent visa solicitors in London can assess your eligibility, assist you in collecting the appropriate evidence, and prepare a strong, well-organised visa application.

UK Dependent Visa Document Checklist 2025

A successful UK Dependent visa application depends on providing the right documents in the correct format. Missing or incomplete evidence can cause delays or even refusal.

You'll usually need to provide:

• Applicant's valid passport
• Proof of the main visa holder's immigration status in the UK
• Evidence of relationship (marriage, civil partnership, or cohabitation)
• Children's birth certificates
• Proof of finances to meet the maintenance requirement
• Evidence that you meet the English language requirement, unless exempt
• Details of any criminal convictions
• Tuberculosis (TB) test results (if applicable)
• Any additional documents relevant to your circumstances

Our UK dependent visa solicitors in London can review your documents, identify any gaps, and help you prepare a complete application to reduce the risk of refusal.

Common Reasons for UK Dependent Visa Refusal

Some of the most frequent reasons UK dependent visa applications are refused include:

• Incomplete or inconsistent documentation.
• Failure to meet the financial requirement.
• The relationship evidence is not convincing enough.
• Applying under the wrong visa category.

Having a solicitor review your application before submission can significantly improve your chances of success. Our London-based dependent visa solicitors help identify and resolve these issues early, ensuring your visa application is strong and well-prepared.
