CHILD OF A PARENT (OR PARTNER) VISA

The Child of a Parent (or Partner) Visa is a route for children whose parent has been granted, or is applying for, a Partner or Parent Visa under Appendix FM of the UK Immigration Rules. This process is often part of the family visa in Oxford application service we provide to families seeking to live together in the UK.

To qualify, the parent must hold or be applying for leave as a Partner or Parent under Appendix FM. This allows the child to live with their parents in the UK as part of a family unit.

If the parent holds a different visa type, the child may apply under Part 8 of the Immigration Rules or as a dependent of a points-based migrant such as a skilled worker. Children who are British citizens or have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) do not need a visa.
