Parent Visa

About Parent Visa

The Parent Visa is designed for a parent who wishes to come to or remain in the UK to care for a child who is British or settled here. It is usually relevant where the applicant is not in a relationship with the child's other parent and either has sole parental responsibility or significant direct access. The Home Office looks closely at the parental relationship, financial sustainability and the welfare of the child. RakLAW prepares applications with the sensitivity these cases demand, putting the child's best interests at the heart of the submission.

Who this is for

  • Parents of British or settled children in the UK
  • Applicants with sole responsibility for a UK child
  • Parents with access rights following separation
  • Those wishing to remain in the UK on family grounds
