FAMILY IMMIGRATION

Adult Dependent Relative Visa

About Adult Dependent Relative Visa

The Adult Dependent Relative Visa allows a parent, grandparent or other adult relative of a British or settled person to come to the UK where they require long-term personal care that cannot reasonably be provided in their home country. It is widely recognised as one of the most demanding family routes, with a high evidential bar around care needs, availability of care abroad and affordability. RakLAW takes a meticulous approach, working with medical evidence, country research and family circumstances to build the strongest possible case.

Who this is for

  • Adult relatives needing long-term personal care
  • Families sponsoring elderly parents or grandparents
  • UK-based sponsors who are British or settled
  • Applicants where overseas care is no longer viable

How RakLAW helps

  • Honest case viability review against the strict rules
  • Coordinating medical and country care evidence
  • Drafting detailed and persuasive application submissions
  • Pursuing appeals and human rights arguments if refused
