Adult Dependent Visa
The Adult Dependent Relative visa category is for adult dependent relatives of British citizens in the UK, persons settled in the UK, persons with limited leave to remain in the UK under Appendix EU or persons in the UK with refugee leave or humanitarian protection status, who wish to settle in the UK.
The Adult Dependent Relative visa applicant must require long-term personal care to perform everyday tasks due to age, illness or disability and that care must be either not available or not affordable in the country where the applicant is living.
Even if the person applying for an Adult Dependent Relative visa does experience the high level of ill health required by the second criteria, the third criteria is even harder to meet. Most sponsors who are able to afford to maintain and accommodate their dependent relative in their home country will find it hard to prove that they cannot continue to afford to provide care for that relative in their country of origin.
An Adult Dependent Relative is granted settlement if their sponsor is settled in the UK or is a British Citizen. In other cases, the Adult Dependent Relative is granted temporary permission which expires on the same date as their sponsor’s temporary permission and once in the UK they can apply for settlement or further permission to stay in line with their sponsor’s permission.
