Who This Is For

Dependent and family visas allow spouses, children, and in some cases parents to join a family member who is already working, studying, or settled abroad. Common situations include:

• Spouses or partners joining a work/study visa holder
• Children joining parents already abroad
• Family reunification for permanent residents or citizens
• Parents joining adult children under qualifying programs
• Adding a new dependent after a marriage or birth abroad

Documents You'll Typically Need

Requirements vary by country and the primary visa holder's status, but generally include:

• ✓ Valid passport for each dependent
• ✓ Proof of relationship — marriage certificate, birth certificates
• ✓ Sponsor's visa/status documents and proof of ability to support dependents
• ✓ Sponsor's proof of income or funds
• ✓ Accommodation details for the family
• ✓ Medical and police clearance certificates, if requested
