The main reason why people opt for UK visa? They have a love for travel and more often than not, their parents are dependent on them.

Elderly dependent visas are a difficult area of UK immigration law, and the application requires a lot of care, and sufficient evidence in order to be successful. This page will provide information on UK elderly dependent visa options, and the requirements for applying for one.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE UK DEPENDENT VISA FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS

You can apply for a dependent to be included on your UK visa for most UK visa types. The requirements for including a parent, grandparent or elderly relative on your UK visa include:

1. The Parent or Grandparent must be over 65 years of age. If they are not, some exceptional compassionate circumstances must be shown. Please contact our leading immigration lawyers for more guidance on what exceptional compassionate circumstances means in practice.

1. The UK based sponsor must be financially able to support a Parent or Grandparent once they come to the United Kingdom. This may require extra evidence in your application, for example, bank statements to evidence savings, or payslips from your employer to show earnings. Our specialist visa lawyers in London can assist you with compiling this evidence for your application.

1. The UK sponsor must have adequate accommodation in the United Kingdom to house the parent or grandparent. Our immigration lawyers have good relationships with local housing assessment officers and reports can be obtained at short notice to fulfil this accommodation requirement.

1. The dependent must have no relatives in their home country who they could turn to for financial support. This does not mean that the parents or grandparents cannot apply from you to the UK if they have relatives in their home country. Rather it means that if the relative is financially able to support the parent in their home country, then the immigration authorities may refuse the application.

1. The parent or grandparent must be mostly financially dependent on the UK sponsor. This means that the UK sponsor must be sending the parent or grandparent money for either their complete expenses or for most of their expenses.

Proving that you and your dependent meet the requirements for a parent or elderly dependent visa can be very difficult, and this is often a tough visa type to obtain which requires a lot ofevidence.
