Overview

Our solicitors, based in Preston, UK, provide expert legal assistance for individuals applying for a Child Visa. This visa is designed for children who wish to join their parent(s) in the UK, either as dependents of a parent with a valid UK visa or as an independent applicant. Our team is dedicated to guiding you through the application process to ensure a smooth transition to the UK.

What is a Child Visa?

The Child Visa allows children under the age of 18 to come to the UK to live with their parent(s) who are either British citizens, settled in the UK, or have a valid UK visa. This visa ensures that children can be reunited with their family and live together in the UK.

Basic Criteria

To be eligible for a Child Visa, you must meet the following criteria:
  • Parent’s Status: The child must be coming to live with a parent who is either a British citizen, settled in the UK, or has a valid visa allowing them to stay in the UK for more than 6 months.
  • Age Requirement:The child must be under 18 years old at the time of application.
  • Financial Requirement:The parent(s) must demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support the child without recourse to public funds.
  • Accommodation The parent(s) must have adequate accommodation available for the child.
  • Parental Consent:If the child is applying to join one parent, evidence of consent from the other parent (if applicable) may be required.

If the child needs to extend their stay, you will need to apply for an extension of the visa. This must be done before the current visa expires.
