Who Qualifies as a Dependent?
According to the UK immigration laws, a dependent could be the lead applicant’s:
- Partner – spouses, civil partners, or unmarried partners
- Dependent children (under 18 years of age)
However, immigration experts emphasize the significance of validating a genuine and persisting relationship for unmarried partners, which requires cohabitation evidence for at least two years before applying.

Financial Requirements for Dependents
Meeting the financial requirements for dependents is the key to being eligible. You must meet one of the following requirements:
- Your employer certifies maintenance, which means they’ll meet the financial needs of both the lead applicant and their dependents.
- You must furnish proof of sufficient funds to support yourselves in the UK, specifically through bank statements.
Rights and Privileges of Dependents
- Dependents are not required to meet the English language requirement, simplifying the application process.
- Dependents can work, set up a business, or even become professional sportspeople in the UK.
This flexibility is a vital benefit for families coming to the UK, enabling them to follow their professional and personal ambitions.
