Adult Dependent Relative Visa
The Adult Dependant Relative visa was created to facilitate the migration of adult family members who require assistance and care, granting them the opportunity to relocate to the United Kingdom and reside alongside a qualified relative already residing in the country.
Applicants for Adult Dependant Relative visas must demonstrate that:
- they are dependent on a parent, grandchild, brother, sister, son, or daughter who is living in the UK;
- they need long-term care to do everyday personal and household tasks (such as washing and cooking) because of illness, disability or age;
- the care they need is not available or affordable in the country they live in; and
- the person they will be joining in the UK will be able to support, accommodate, and care for them without claiming public funds for at least five years.
In order to be eligible, the candidate should find themselves in a predicament where the care they require is unattainable within their current residing nation, despite the financial and practical assistance offered by their kinfolk. The care required could encompass either residing in a nursing home or hiring a housekeeper.
Proof of the applicant’s familial tie will be required alongside substantial validation. Additionally, medical documentation or endorsement by a healthcare expert regarding the applicant’s well-being and necessities must also be furnished.
Applicants must present compelling proof as to why the care they need is not accessible in their country of origin, or alternatively, provide substantial evidence of their financial situation to justify the inability to afford the required care.
