Parent of a Child Student Visa
Only parents of children who are already applying for or have started the application process for a Child Student Visa are eligible to submit an application for this particular visa.
When you submit your application, it is essential that your child falls within the age range of 4 to 11 years old and is currently enrolled in a privately-funded educational institution in the United Kingdom.
In addition, it is essential that you undertake the following tasks:
- To qualify, you must assume sole responsibility as the sole guardian accompanying your child in the United Kingdom.
- It is imperative to possess sufficient financial means to sustain both yourself and your child during your stay in the UK.
- Ensure that your primary residence remains outside the borders of the UK.
- Establish concrete plans to depart from the UK upon the expiration of your visa.
The UK visa does not allow the child’s other parent, who must reside abroad, to apply and accompany you. Moreover, this visa does not permit you to bring any additional family members. However, there might be an opportunity for them to apply for a short-term visit visa if they wish to come to the UK.
If your other children possess or are seeking a Child Student Visa, feel free to accompany them to the designated location.
How Long can I stay?
Until either your child’s visa expires or they reach the age of 12, whichever event comes first, you have the option to remain in the UK together.
If your child stays in the UK while you depart from the country, it is essential that you organize their continuous care. For instance, if your child is 12 years old and holds a valid visa, they might have the option to enroll in a boarding school or reside with relatives residing in the UK.
