1:What do my dependants need to make an application?
|
| |
They will also need the following:
- Their passport or travel document.
- A recent passport-sized (45mm x 35mm) colour photograph of themselves.
This should be:
- taken against a light coloured background
- clear and of good quality, and not framed or backed
- printed on normal photographic paper, and
- full face and without sunglasses, hat or other head covering unless they wear this for cultural or religious reasons.
- The visa fee. This cannot be refunded, and they must normally pay it in the local currency of the country where they are applying.
- Supporting documents relevant to their application.

| 2:What supporting documents should my dependants include with their application? |
| |
| Your dependants should include all the documents they can to show that they qualify for entry to the UK as your dependant. If they do not, they may refuse their application.
As a guide, your dependants should include:
- evidence of their relationship to you
- evidence that you can support them and live without needing any help from public funds
- a copy of the pages from your passport showing your permission to stay, if you are already in the UK, and
- your original work permit and supporting documents if they are applying before you travel to the UK.

| 3:What requirements do I have to meet to get a visa? |
| |
If you hold an ordinary work permit, TWES or a letter of approval, you must:
- be able to do the work referred to in your work permit
- not intend to take other employment, except as set out in your work permit
- intend to leave the UK when the work permit expires (if it is due to expire within 12 months), and
- be able to support yourself and any dependants, without needing any help from public funds.

| 4:What will happen when I make my application? |
| |
The Entry Clearance Officer will try to make a decision using your application and the supporting documents you have provided. If this is not possible, they will need to interview you.
Please check your visa when you get it. You should make sure that:
- your personal details are correct
- it correctly states the purpose for which you want to come to the UK, and
- it is valid for the date on which you want to travel. (You can ask for it to be post-dated for up to three months if you do not plan to travel immediately).
