Detailed information

We strongly recommend you or your dependant to read the gov.uk information on student visa dependants.

The International Student Advice Service can advise you on dependant visa applications, if you need it.

Making the dependant visa application

If your dependant (or dependants) are applying for a visa outside of the UK, they will need to complete an online application form.  Each dependant needs to complete a separate application form.  At the time of writing the application fee is £363 per dependant.

If your dependant/s are applying for a visa inside the UK, they will need to complete an online application form.  If they are making the application at the same time that you are making your Student Visa application, you should indicate in your answers that you have a dependant/s applying with you.  The application form will then generate extra sections for each dependant which you then fill in with their details.

At the time of writing, the PBS dependant application fee inside the UK is £490 for a standard application. There are also other services available such as the priority service. Once you pay your application fee, you will be taken to another screen to book your biometrics appointment.

Funds in the bank

For each dependant, there is a fixed amount of money that must be held in a bank account for a 28 day period. These funds can be held in a bank account belonging to the dependant, or to you.  See the gov.uk information on student visa dependants for confirmation of the amounts that apply.

Conditions of the Dependant visa

If you have been issued a visa which is longer than 9 months and for postgraduate level study, your dependants should have the right to work in the UK. Their visa will confirm this. Check the wording on it carefully and seek advice if unsure. It is very important to be sure of the restrictions to working in the UK to avoid breaching any conditions.

These regulations are reasonably complex, so seek advice where necessary. The International Student Advice Service can advise you on dependant visas if you need it.

Visit visas

If your dependant/s wants to join you for a visit only, or they cannot apply for a dependant visa, they could apply for a visit visa instead. The visit visa is an option for family members other than partners and children and also for friends. See our information on inviting a visitor to the UK for more guidance on this.
