Parent of a Child Student Visa

About Parent of a Child Student Visa

The Parent of a Child Student Visa allows a parent to come to the UK to care for a young child who is studying here on a Child Student Visa. It is intended to support the welfare of the child rather than to facilitate work or settlement, and the Home Office expects clear evidence of the parental relationship, financial means and a genuine caregiving purpose. RakLAW helps parents prepare a structured application that ties together the child's studies, family circumstances and supporting evidence, and we advise where a refusal needs to be challenged.

Who this is for

  • Parents of young children studying at a UK school
  • Families relocating to support a child's education
  • Parents needing to extend their leave alongside their child
  • Applicants facing a refusal or evidence challenge

How RakLAW helps

  • Mapping eligibility against the parent route rules
  • Preparing relationship, accommodation and financial evidence
  • Coordinating the application with the child's visa
  • Drafting clear statements on caregiving and intentions
  • Advising on extensions, refusals and reviews
