Child Dependent

A child may be able to apply as a dependant or under a family route depending on the parent’s immigration status and the child’s circumstances. The correct application route depends on whether the parent is settled, British, sponsored under a work route or present under another visa category.

Child applications require evidence of identity, parentage, dependency and care arrangements.

Parental Status & Route Selection

We identify the correct dependant route based on whether parents hold settled status, work visas, or citizenship.

Sole Responsibility & Care Evidence

We organize custody documents, consent letters, school records, and maintenance evidence.

Child Dependant Applications

Eligible Categories

  • Family route child applications
  • Dependants of work or study visa holders
  • Parental responsibility evidence
  • Financial and accommodation requirements
  • Applications inside or outside the UK

Parental Responsibility & Proof

Supporting Evidence

Where only one parent is applying or living in the UK, the Home Office may need clear evidence of parental responsibility and why the child should be granted permission.

  • Child passport and birth certificate
  • Parent or sponsor immigration status
  • Consent from the other parent, where relevant
  • School, medical or residence evidence
  • Financial and accommodation evidence

We can identify the correct route for the child, prepare parental responsibility evidence and organise the application around Home Office requirements.
