Who is eligible for the UK Child Visa?

UK Visas & Immigration requires the following requirements in order to grant you a Child Visa:

Depending on your circumstances, you may need to satisfy different requirements, so it is strongly advisable to confirm your eligibility in advance of making an application.

If you are the child of a parent or family member who is settled in the UK, you may be eligible to apply for a leave to remain indefinitely in the following circumstances:

  • It is possible for the child to come to the UK to live with both parents and either
  • Both parents have British citizenship or they have indefinite leave to remain in the country, or they are both being admitted for settlement at the same time; or
  • There is one parent who is a British citizen, or has indefinite leave to remain, and the other parent is applying to come to the UK.

If you are bringing your child to live with only one of your parents in the UK and either:

  • It is either one of the parents is a British citizen or has indefinite leave to remain, and the other parent is dead; or
  • There is one parent who is either a British citizen or who has indefinite leave to remain in the UK, and that parent is solely responsible for raising the child;
  • There is a parent who is a British citizen, or who has indefinite leave to remain in the UK, and there are serious and compelling family or other considerations which make it unpalatable for the child to be expelled from the UK.
  • Children who are going to live with a relative who is not their parent and who is a citizen of Great Britain or has indefinite leave to remain, and where there are serious and compelling family or other reasons why the child should not be excluded from the UK.

In addition, the child must demonstrate that they meet these requirements:

  • Their parents or other relatives are related to them as claimed; and
  • The applicant is under the age of 18 at the time of application; and
  • The couple is not married, in a civil partnership, or living independently; and
  • The child is provided with adequate housing and maintenance, without relying on public funds.

Children who wish to enter or remain in the UK on a limited visa must meet certain requirements

A child’s parent may apply for limited leave to enter or remain in the UK in this category if they are applying for entry clearance or leave to remain as a partner of an already-established British citizen or settled person in the UK, or if they have already been granted entry clearance or leave to remain.

If the child wants entry clearance or leave to remain as the child of a partner with limited leave, the child must be able to demonstrate that:

  • A child of a parent who is in the UK, or who is applying to come to the UK, as a partner;
  • An applicant’s parent’s partner is also the applicant’s parent, unless either of the following is true:
  • the applicant’s parent is the only parent; or the applicant’s parent shares full parental responsibility.
  • The child cannot be excluded due to serious and compelling family or other considerations, and suitable arrangements have been made for the child.

To qualify, the child must also meet the following requirements:

  • When applying for an extension of leave, the applicant must be under the age of 18 at the time of application, unless they have subsequently reached 18, but have not yet settled;
  • Neither of them is married, in a civil partnership, nor do they lead an independent life;
  • The child is adequately housed and maintained without public assistance.

In addition, the UK sponsor has to prove they meet a financial need by earning at least £18,600, plus £3,800 for the first child (who is not a British, settled, or EEA citizen), and £2,400 for the second and subsequent children (who are not British, settled, or EEA citizens). Certain benefits will be considered differently if the UK sponsor receives them. For details, call 02033844389.

Important Considerations for Child Visa UK Applicants

They will be granted indefinite leave to enter the United Kingdom if the child’s application for a visa as the child of a parent or relative who is settled in the UK, or who is applying for settlement, is approved.

When the child is granted leave to enter or remain in the UK as a child of a parent with limited leave to remain as a partner, the child will benefit from the parent’s leave. The child may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain once the parent has been granted Indefinite Leave. TO understand the technicalities call now at 02033844389
