FAMILY IMMIGRATION

Child Visa

About Child Visa

A Child Visa allows a dependent child to join or remain with a parent who is a British citizen, settled in the UK, or already holding a qualifying visa. The Home Office considers the child's age, dependency, accommodation, financial support and welfare. Sole responsibility cases and applications where one parent remains overseas require careful presentation. RakLAW handles these matters with the care they deserve, ensuring evidence around relationships, schooling and family life is presented clearly so the child's best interests are properly recognised.

Who this is for

  • Parents bringing a dependent child to the UK
  • Families extending a child's existing UK leave
  • Sponsors with sole responsibility for a child overseas
  • Children switching alongside a parent's visa change

How RakLAW helps

  • Eligibility review under the child dependant rules
  • Preparing welfare, dependency and education evidence
  • Drafting clear and sensitive application submissions
  • Representing families on appeal where needed
