BRITISH CITIZENSHIP

What is a UK Student Dependant Visa?

British Citizenship by Birth is a legal status granted to individuals born in the United Kingdom.

Citizenship Based on Birth Conditions

The UK Student Dependant Visa allows the partner and children of a main Student Visa holder to accompany or join them in the United Kingdom. This route is designed to keep families together while the main applicant undertakes their studies. Not all students are eligible to bring dependants; the route is generally restricted to those studying at a postgraduate research level (e.g., PhD) or on government-sponsored courses lasting longer than six months. Successful applicants are granted leave that aligns with the main student’s visa expiry date, giving them the right to live in the UK. Dependants also enjoy certain rights, such as access to healthcare and, in many cases, the right to work or study, making it a viable option for families relocating temporarily for education.
