There is no single dependant visa any more - the rules differ by route, and since 11 March 2024 care workers cannot bring dependants at all. What each route allows, costs and requires.
If you are in the UK on a work or study visa, your partner and children may be able to join you as your “dependants”. But there is no longer one dependant visa, and no longer one page describing it - the old address gov.uk/dependant-visa has been taken down. GOV.UK now keeps the dependant rules on each visa route’s own page, and those rules genuinely differ: who counts as family, how much money you must show, what it costs, and on some routes whether your family can come at all. Read the page for the visa you actually hold. A general article - including this one - is only a starting point.
Start with the page for your own visa
Every figure below was taken from those GOV.UK pages and checked on 5 September 2026. Fees, surcharges and thresholds are reviewed regularly, so confirm the current amounts during your own application.
If you are a care worker, read this section first
Since 11 March 2024, care workers and senior care workers (occupation codes 6135 and 6136) can no longer bring a partner or children to the UK as dependants. This applies on both the Skilled Worker and the Health and Care Worker visa. Care work is one of the most common routes into the UK for Nepalis, so this is the single change that affects the most families - and older guides, agents and WhatsApp groups still talk as though it had not happened.
The exception is narrow. Your partner and children can still apply if you have been continually employed in the UK as a care worker or senior care worker, on a Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visa, since before 11 March 2024. Beyond that, only children qualify, and only in specific cases: a child born in the UK; or - for an application made from inside the UK - a child for whom you are the only living parent responsible, or whose other parent is also sponsored as a care worker or senior care worker.
If someone offering you a care job says your spouse can come too, do not take their word for it. Check it yourself on gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa/your-partner-and-children before you pay anyone anything. See also our guide to the Health and Care Worker visa.
A similar restriction now applies to other jobs the Home Office classes as “medium skilled” on the Skilled Worker route. Dependants are only allowed if you have been continually employed in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa in a medium-skilled job since before 22 July 2025, with the same narrow exceptions for children, plus prison officers (code 3314) who are extending or switching.
Who counts as a dependant
On the Skilled Worker and Health and Care Worker routes, a dependant is:
- your husband, wife, civil partner or unmarried partner;
- your child under 18 - including a child born in the UK during your stay;
- your child over 18 only if they already have permission to be in the UK as your dependant.
On the Student route it is your husband, wife or civil partner, your unmarried partner, and your child under 18. Parents, brothers, sisters and other relatives are not dependants on any of these routes - they need a visa of their own.
To prove a partner relationship you must show one of the following: a marriage or civil partnership recognised in the UK; that you have been living together in a relationship for at least 2 years; or that you have been in a relationship for at least 2 years but cannot live together, for example because you work or study in different places. A child must live with you (unless they are away in full-time education) and must not be married or in a civil partnership.
Skilled Worker dependants
- Allowed? Yes - unless you are a care worker, senior care worker, or in a medium-skilled job, as described above.
- Money they must show - £285 for your partner, £315 for one child and £200 for each additional child. This is on top of the £1,270 you must show for yourself. The money must have been available for 28 days in a row, with day 28 falling within 31 days of applying. You do not need to show it if you have all been in the UK on a valid visa for at least 12 months, or if your employer confirms on your certificate of sponsorship that it will cover your family’s costs for the first month.
- Fee - each person applies separately and pays their own fee. From outside the UK it is £819 for up to 3 years or £1,618 for more than 3 years; from inside the UK, £943 or £1,865. If your job is on the immigration salary list it is £628 or £1,235, the same whether you apply from inside or outside. Your dependant pays for the same length of time as you, even if they apply a year later.
- Immigration Health Surcharge - £1,035 per person per year, or £776 a year for an applicant who is under 18 at the time of application.
- Work and study - your partner or child can work in any job except as a professional sportsperson or sports coach, can study, and can travel in and out of the UK. After 5 years they may be able to apply for indefinite leave to remain in their own right. They cannot claim most benefits (public funds) or the State Pension.
None of this replaces your own salary requirement, which is normally at least £41,700 a year or the going rate for your occupation code, whichever is higher.
Health and Care Worker dependants
- Allowed? Yes for clinical roles - doctors, nurses and other health professionals are not affected by the care worker restriction. For codes 6135 and 6136, see the care worker section above.
- Money they must show - the same as the Skilled Worker route: £285 for a partner, £315 for one child, £200 for each additional child, on top of your own £1,270, with the same 28-day rule and the same exemptions.
- Fee - £324 per person for up to 3 years, or £628 per person for more than 3 years. The fee is the same whether they apply from inside or outside the UK. This is the cheapest of the routes here.
- Immigration Health Surcharge - none. Neither you nor your partner or children pay the surcharge on this visa, and you can use the NHS free of charge from the date the visa starts. You still pay for prescriptions, dental treatment, eye tests and assisted conception.
- Work and study - the same as Skilled Worker dependants.
Note that care worker and senior care worker now appear only on the list of occupation codes you can extend, update or switch into on this visa. A first application in those codes from outside the UK is not possible.
Student dependants
- Allowed? Only for two groups: a government-sponsored student starting a course lasting longer than 6 months, or a full-time student on a postgraduate course at RQF level 7 or above lasting 9 months or longer. If that postgraduate course starts on or after 1 January 2024, it must be a PhD or other doctorate (RQF level 8), or a research-based higher degree. So a self-funded PhD student can bring dependants; someone starting a taught one-year master’s now cannot. If you are on any other Student visa, assume the answer is no until the GOV.UK page tells you otherwise.
- Money they must show - each of them separately needs £845 a month for up to 9 months if you are studying in London, or £680 a month for up to 9 months outside London. This is in addition to the money you must show for your own course fees and living costs, and the same 28-day rule applies. They do not need to show it if they have already been in the UK on a valid visa for at least 12 months.
- Fee - £558 per person, whether they apply from outside the UK or from inside it.
- Immigration Health Surcharge - £776 per person per year. This is the discounted student rate, and it covers a student’s dependants as well as the student.
- Work and study - the Immigration Rules (Appendix Student, ST 39.3) allow a student’s dependant to work, including self-employment and voluntary work, except as a professional sportsperson or sports coach. Work is not permitted for a dependant in the “continuing dependant” category where the student has been granted less than 9 months’ permission, or is studying below degree level. Study is allowed. No public funds.
One point the public page does not spell out: if your family were already here as your dependants and you are moving from one course of 6 months or more to another, they may be able to continue as dependants even though a new dependant could not be added today. That is at ST 31.1(d) of Immigration Rules Appendix Student. It is worth taking advice before assuming it applies to you.
Graduate route dependants
- Allowed? Only for people who are already here. A partner or child can stay with you on the Graduate route only if they were already your dependant on your Student or Tier 4 (General) visa - or if they are a child born in the UK during that Student, Tier 4 or Graduate permission. They must be in the UK to apply. You cannot bring anyone new from Nepal on this route.
- Money they must show - none. Appendix Graduate sets no funds requirement for dependants.
- Fee - £937 per person, plus the Immigration Health Surcharge at £1,035 a year: £1,152.50 for an 18-month visa, £2,070 for 2 years, or £3,105 for 3 years.
- Work and study - work is permitted, including self-employment and voluntary work, except as a professional sportsperson or sports coach. Study is allowed. No public funds.
If you finish your degree and then want to bring your family from Nepal, the answer is not the Graduate visa - it is switching to a route that allows new dependants, usually a Skilled Worker visa. See our guides to the Graduate Route and to switching from Student to Skilled Worker.
If your partner is British or settled in the UK
None of the above applies to you. Joining a British citizen or someone with settled status is the family visa route, which has its own rules, its own fees and a minimum income requirement of £29,000 a year for a partner application. Different amounts apply if your partner receives certain disability or carer’s benefits, or if you first applied as a partner before 11 April 2024. Start at gov.uk/uk-family-visa.
Things that are true on every route
- Each family member makes a separate application and pays their own fee and surcharge. There is no family discount.
- A dependant’s permission normally ends on the same date as yours. Where a child’s parents have different expiry dates, the child gets the earlier one.
- Your partner or child cannot switch into being your dependant from inside the UK if they are here on a visit visa, a short-term student visa, a Parent of a Child Student visa, a seasonal worker visa or a domestic worker visa, or if they are on immigration bail. Bringing someone on a visitor visa and switching them here does not work.
- A child born in the UK does not automatically become British. You must apply for their dependant visa before they turn 18 if they are to stay, and before travelling in and out of the UK with them.
- If you are the first in the family to apply, you can get a family linking code that ties the applications together. Your family enter the same code when they apply.
- Decisions usually take about 3 weeks for applications made outside the UK and about 8 weeks inside it.
Rules change - always check GOV.UK
This area has changed more than any other in the last three years, and the changes have been sudden. The dependant ban for care workers arrived in March 2024, the restriction on medium-skilled jobs in July 2025, and the central GOV.UK dependant page has since been removed altogether. Figures and rules you read in community forums, from agents, or in older guides - including earlier versions of this one - may be wrong. Check the page for your own visa route, and for anything complicated, or where a refusal would be costly, speak to an OISC-regulated immigration adviser: gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser.
तपाईं बेलायतमा काम वा अध्ययनको भिसामा हुनुहुन्छ भने, तपाईंको जीवनसाथी र छोराछोरी “आश्रित” (dependant) का रूपमा तपाईंसँग आउन सक्ने सम्भावना हुन्छ। तर अब एउटै मात्र “dependant visa” भन्ने चीज छैन, र त्यसलाई बुझाउने एउटै पृष्ठ पनि छैन — पुरानो ठेगाना gov.uk/dependant-visa हटाइसकिएको छ। GOV.UK ले अब आश्रितसम्बन्धी नियम प्रत्येक भिसा रुटको आफ्नै पृष्ठमा राख्छ, र ती नियम साँच्चै फरक छन्: परिवारमा को गनिन्छ, कति पैसा देखाउनुपर्छ, कति खर्च लाग्छ, र केही रुटमा त परिवार ल्याउन पाइन्छ कि पाइँदैन भन्ने कुरा नै फरक हुन्छ। तपाईंसँग वास्तवमा जुन भिसा छ, त्यसकै पृष्ठ पढ्नुहोस्। यो जस्तो सामान्य लेख सुरु गर्ने ठाउँ मात्र हो।
आफ्नै भिसाको पृष्ठबाट सुरु गर्नुहोस्
तल दिइएका सबै रकम माथिका GOV.UK पृष्ठबाटै लिइएका हुन् र ५ सेप्टेम्बर २०२६ मा जाँचिएका हुन्। शुल्क, surcharge र सीमा नियमित रूपमा पुनरावलोकन हुने भएकाले आफ्नो आवेदन दिँदा वर्तमान रकम पुष्टि गर्नुहोस्।
तपाईं care worker हुनुहुन्छ भने पहिले यो खण्ड पढ्नुहोस्
११ मार्च २०२४ देखि care worker र senior care worker (occupation code 6135 र 6136) ले जीवनसाथी वा छोराछोरीलाई आश्रितका रूपमा बेलायत ल्याउन पाउँदैनन्। यो Skilled Worker र Health and Care Worker दुवै भिसामा लागू हुन्छ। नेपालीहरूका लागि care work बेलायत आउने सबैभन्दा सामान्य बाटोमध्ये एक भएकाले, सबैभन्दा धेरै परिवारलाई असर गर्ने परिवर्तन यही हो — अनि पुराना गाइड, एजेन्ट र WhatsApp समूहहरू अझै यो भएकै छैन जसरी कुरा गर्छन्।
छुट निकै साँघुरो छ। तपाईं Skilled Worker वा Health and Care Worker भिसामा care worker वा senior care worker का रूपमा ११ मार्च २०२४ अघिदेखि बेलायतमा निरन्तर रोजगारीमा हुनुहुन्छ भने मात्र तपाईंको जीवनसाथी र छोराछोरीले आवेदन दिन सक्छन्। त्यसबाहेक छोराछोरी मात्र योग्य हुन्छन्, र त्यो पनि निश्चित अवस्थामा: बेलायतमै जन्मेको बच्चा; अथवा — बेलायतभित्रबाट दिइने आवेदनका हकमा — तपाईं नै जिम्मेवार एक मात्र जीवित अभिभावक भएको बच्चा, वा जसको अर्को अभिभावक पनि care worker वा senior care worker का रूपमा sponsor भएको बच्चा।
कसैले तपाईंलाई care को जागिर दिँदै जीवनसाथी पनि ल्याउन पाइन्छ भन्छ भने, उसको भरमा नपर्नुहोस्। कसैलाई पैसा तिर्नुअघि gov.uk/health-care-worker-visa/your-partner-and-children मा आफैं जाँच्नुहोस्। हाम्रो Health and Care Worker भिसा गाइड पनि हेर्नुहोस्।
Home Office ले “medium skilled” भनेर वर्गीकरण गरेका अन्य जागिरमा पनि अब यस्तै प्रतिबन्ध लागू छ। Skilled Worker भिसामा medium-skilled जागिरमा २२ जुलाई २०२५ अघिदेखि बेलायतमा निरन्तर रोजगारीमा हुनुहुन्छ भने मात्र आश्रित ल्याउन पाइन्छ — छोराछोरीका लागि उही साँघुरा छुट, र म्याद थप्दै वा स्विच गर्दै गरेका prison officer (code 3314) थप्दै।
आश्रितमा को पर्छ?
Skilled Worker र Health and Care Worker रुटमा आश्रित भनेको:
- तपाईंको पति, पत्नी, civil partner वा अविवाहित साझेदार;
- तपाईंको १८ वर्षमुनिको छोरा/छोरी — बेलायतमा बस्दा यहीँ जन्मेको बच्चा पनि;
- १८ वर्षमाथिको छोरा/छोरी केवल उहाँसँग पहिले नै तपाईंको आश्रितका रूपमा बेलायतमा बस्ने अनुमति छ भने।
Student रुटमा यो तपाईंको पति, पत्नी वा civil partner, तपाईंको अविवाहित साझेदार, र १८ वर्षमुनिको छोरा/छोरी हो। आमाबुबा, दाजुभाइ, दिदीबहिनी र अन्य नातेदार यीमध्ये कुनै पनि रुटमा आश्रित हुँदैनन् — उनीहरूलाई आफ्नै भिसा चाहिन्छ।
साझेदारी प्रमाणित गर्न तपाईंले यीमध्ये एउटा देखाउनुपर्छ: बेलायतमा मान्यता प्राप्त विवाह वा civil partnership; कम्तीमा २ वर्षदेखि सम्बन्धमा सँगै बसिरहेको; वा कम्तीमा २ वर्षदेखि सम्बन्धमा हुनुहुन्छ तर सँगै बस्न सक्नुहुन्न (उदाहरणका लागि फरक ठाउँमा काम वा अध्ययन गर्ने भएकाले)। छोरा/छोरी तपाईंसँगै बस्नुपर्छ (पूर्णकालीन अध्ययनका कारण घरबाहिर बसेको अवस्थाबाहेक) र विवाहित वा civil partnership मा हुनुहुँदैन।
Skilled Worker का आश्रित
- अनुमति छ? छ — तर तपाईं माथि उल्लेख गरिएझैं care worker, senior care worker वा medium-skilled जागिरमा हुनुहुन्न भने मात्र।
- देखाउनुपर्ने पैसा — जीवनसाथीका लागि £285, एक जना बच्चाका लागि £315 र थप प्रत्येक बच्चाका लागि £200। यो तपाईंले आफ्नै लागि देखाउनुपर्ने £1,270 भन्दा अतिरिक्त हो। पैसा लगातार २८ दिन खातामा हुनुपर्छ, र २८ औं दिन आवेदन दिनुभन्दा ३१ दिनभित्र पर्नुपर्छ। तपाईं सबै जना कम्तीमा १२ महिनादेखि वैध भिसामा बेलायतमा हुनुहुन्छ भने, वा तपाईंको रोजगारदाताले certificate of sponsorship मा पहिलो महिनाको खर्च बेहोर्ने पुष्टि गरेको छ भने, देखाउनु पर्दैन।
- शुल्क — प्रत्येक व्यक्तिले छुट्टै आवेदन दिन्छ र आफ्नै शुल्क तिर्छ। बेलायत बाहिरबाट: ३ वर्षसम्मका लागि £819, ३ वर्षभन्दा बढीका लागि £1,618। बेलायतभित्रबाट: £943 वा £1,865। तपाईंको जागिर immigration salary list मा छ भने भित्र वा बाहिर जहाँबाट दिए पनि £628 वा £1,235। तपाईंको आश्रितले एक वर्षपछि आवेदन दिए पनि तपाईंकै अवधिको शुल्क तिर्नुपर्छ।
- Immigration Health Surcharge — प्रतिव्यक्ति प्रतिवर्ष £1,035, वा आवेदन दिँदा १८ वर्षमुनि भएको आवेदकका लागि वार्षिक £776।
- काम र अध्ययन — तपाईंको जीवनसाथी वा छोराछोरीले professional sportsperson वा sports coach बाहेक जुनसुकै जागिरमा काम गर्न, अध्ययन गर्न, र बेलायत आउजाउ गर्न पाउँछन्। ५ वर्षपछि उहाँहरूले आफ्नै हैसियतमा indefinite leave to remain का लागि आवेदन दिन सक्ने हुन सक्छ। उहाँहरूले अधिकांश भत्ता (public funds) वा State Pension दाबी गर्न पाउँदैनन्।
यसले तपाईंको आफ्नै तलब आवश्यकता प्रतिस्थापन गर्दैन — त्यो सामान्यतया वार्षिक कम्तीमा £41,700 वा तपाईंको occupation code को going rate, जुन बढी हुन्छ, त्यही हो।
Health and Care Worker का आश्रित
- अनुमति छ? क्लिनिकल भूमिकाका लागि छ — डाक्टर, नर्स र अन्य स्वास्थ्यकर्मीलाई care worker सम्बन्धी प्रतिबन्धले छुँदैन। Code 6135 र 6136 का लागि माथिको care worker खण्ड हेर्नुहोस्।
- देखाउनुपर्ने पैसा — Skilled Worker रुटकै जस्तै: जीवनसाथीका लागि £285, एक बच्चाका लागि £315, थप प्रत्येक बच्चाका लागि £200, तपाईंको आफ्नै £1,270 भन्दा अतिरिक्त — उही २८ दिनको नियम र उही छुटसहित।
- शुल्क — ३ वर्षसम्मका लागि प्रतिव्यक्ति £324, ३ वर्षभन्दा बढीका लागि प्रतिव्यक्ति £628। बेलायतभित्र वा बाहिर जहाँबाट आवेदन दिए पनि शुल्क उही हुन्छ। यहाँ उल्लेख गरिएका रुटमध्ये यो सबैभन्दा सस्तो हो।
- Immigration Health Surcharge — छैन। यो भिसामा तपाईं, तपाईंको जीवनसाथी वा छोराछोरी कसैले पनि surcharge तिर्नु पर्दैन, र भिसा सुरु भएको मितिदेखि निःशुल्क NHS प्रयोग गर्न पाइन्छ। तर औषधि (prescription), दाँतको उपचार, आँखा जाँच र assisted conception का लागि भने शुल्क लाग्छ।
- काम र अध्ययन — Skilled Worker का आश्रितकै जस्तै।
ध्यान दिनुहोस्: care worker र senior care worker अब यो भिसामा म्याद थप्न, अद्यावधिक गर्न वा स्विच गर्न मिल्ने occupation code को सूचीमा मात्र छन्। ती code मा बेलायत बाहिरबाट पहिलो पटक आवेदन दिन मिल्दैन।
Student का आश्रित
- अनुमति छ? दुई समूहलाई मात्र: ६ महिनाभन्दा लामो कोर्स सुरु गर्दै गरेका सरकारी प्रायोजित (government-sponsored) विद्यार्थी, वा ९ महिना वा सोभन्दा लामो RQF level 7 वा माथिको स्नातकोत्तर कोर्समा भएका पूर्णकालीन विद्यार्थी। त्यो स्नातकोत्तर कोर्स १ जनवरी २०२४ वा त्यसपछि सुरु हुन्छ भने, त्यो PhD वा अन्य doctorate (RQF level 8), वा अनुसन्धानमा आधारित उच्च डिग्री हुनैपर्छ। त्यसैले आफ्नै खर्चमा पढ्ने PhD विद्यार्थीले आश्रित ल्याउन सक्छन्; अहिले एक वर्षे taught master’s सुरु गर्ने व्यक्तिले सक्दैनन्। तपाईं अरू कुनै Student भिसामा हुनुहुन्छ भने, GOV.UK पृष्ठले अन्यथा नभनेसम्म जवाफ “पाइँदैन” नै हो भन्ने मान्नुहोस्।
- देखाउनुपर्ने पैसा — तपाईं London मा पढ्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने प्रत्येकलाई अलग-अलग ९ महिनासम्मका लागि मासिक £845, London बाहिर भए मासिक £680। यो तपाईंले आफ्नो कोर्स शुल्क र जीवन-निर्वाहका लागि देखाउनुपर्ने पैसाभन्दा अतिरिक्त हो, र उही २८ दिनको नियम लागू हुन्छ। उहाँहरू कम्तीमा १२ महिनादेखि वैध भिसामा बेलायतमा हुनुहुन्छ भने देखाउनु पर्दैन।
- शुल्क — प्रतिव्यक्ति £558, बेलायत बाहिरबाट वा भित्रबाट जहाँबाट आवेदन दिए पनि उही।
- Immigration Health Surcharge — प्रतिव्यक्ति प्रतिवर्ष £776। यो विद्यार्थीका लागि छुट भएको दर हो, र यसले विद्यार्थीका आश्रितलाई पनि समेट्छ।
- काम र अध्ययन — Immigration Rules (Appendix Student, ST 39.3) अनुसार विद्यार्थीको आश्रितले professional sportsperson वा sports coach बाहेक काम गर्न पाउँछन्, जसमा self-employment र स्वयंसेवा पनि पर्छ। तर विद्यार्थीलाई ९ महिनाभन्दा कम अवधिको अनुमति दिइएको छ वा उहाँ डिग्री स्तरभन्दा तलको कोर्स पढ्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने, “निरन्तर आश्रित” कोटिका आश्रितलाई काम गर्न अनुमति हुँदैन। अध्ययन गर्न पाइन्छ। Public funds पाइँदैन।
आधिकारिक पृष्ठले नखुलाएको एउटा कुरा: तपाईंको परिवार पहिले नै आश्रितका रूपमा यहाँ हुनुहुन्थ्यो र तपाईं ६ महिना वा सोभन्दा लामो एउटा कोर्सबाट अर्कोमा जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ भने, आज नयाँ आश्रित थप्न नमिले पनि उहाँहरू आश्रितका रूपमा निरन्तर रहन सक्ने हुन सक्छ। यो Immigration Rules Appendix Student को ST 31.1(d) मा छ। यो आफूलाई लागू हुन्छ भन्ने ठान्नुअघि सल्लाह लिनु उपयुक्त हुन्छ।
Graduate route का आश्रित
- अनुमति छ? पहिले नै यहाँ हुनुभएकालाई मात्र। जीवनसाथी वा छोराछोरी केवल तपाईंको Student वा Tier 4 (General) भिसामा पहिले नै आश्रित हुनुहुन्थ्यो भने — वा त्यो Student, Tier 4 वा Graduate अनुमति अवधिमा बेलायतमै जन्मेको बच्चा हो भने — Graduate route मा तपाईंसँग रहन सक्नुहुन्छ। आवेदन दिँदा उहाँहरू बेलायतमै हुनुपर्छ। यो रुटमा नेपालबाट कसैलाई नयाँ रूपमा ल्याउन सकिँदैन।
- देखाउनुपर्ने पैसा — छैन। Appendix Graduate ले आश्रितका लागि कुनै रकमको आवश्यकता तोकेको छैन।
- शुल्क — प्रतिव्यक्ति £937, र त्यसमाथि वार्षिक £1,035 का दरले Immigration Health Surcharge: १८ महिनाको भिसाका लागि £1,152.50, २ वर्षका लागि £2,070, ३ वर्षका लागि £3,105।
- काम र अध्ययन — professional sportsperson वा sports coach बाहेक काम गर्न पाइन्छ, जसमा self-employment र स्वयंसेवा पनि पर्छ। अध्ययन गर्न पाइन्छ। Public funds पाइँदैन।
तपाईंले डिग्री सकेपछि नेपालबाट परिवार ल्याउन चाहनुहुन्छ भने त्यसको जवाफ Graduate भिसा होइन — नयाँ आश्रित ल्याउन दिने रुट, प्रायः Skilled Worker भिसामा स्विच गर्नु हो। हाम्रा Graduate Route र Student बाट Skilled Worker मा स्विच गाइड हेर्नुहोस्।
तपाईंको जीवनसाथी बेलायती वा यहाँ स्थायी हुनुहुन्छ भने
माथिको कुनै पनि कुरा तपाईंलाई लागू हुँदैन। बेलायती नागरिक वा settled status भएको व्यक्तिसँग जोडिनु भनेको family visa रुट हो, जसका आफ्नै नियम, आफ्नै शुल्क र साझेदारको आवेदनका लागि वार्षिक £29,000 को minimum income requirement हुन्छ। तपाईंको जीवनसाथीले निश्चित अपाङ्गता वा carer’s भत्ता पाउनुहुन्छ भने, वा तपाईंले ११ अप्रिल २०२४ अघि पहिलो पटक साझेदारका रूपमा आवेदन दिनुभएको थियो भने फरक रकम लागू हुन्छ। gov.uk/uk-family-visa बाट सुरु गर्नुहोस्।
हरेक रुटमा लागू हुने कुरा
- परिवारका प्रत्येक सदस्यले छुट्टै आवेदन दिन्छन् र आफ्नै शुल्क तथा surcharge तिर्छन्। परिवारका लागि कुनै छुट हुँदैन।
- आश्रितको अनुमति सामान्यतया तपाईंकै मितिमा सकिन्छ। बच्चाका आमाबुबाको म्याद फरक-फरक मितिमा सकिन्छ भने बच्चाले अगाडिको मिति पाउँछ।
- तपाईंको जीवनसाथी वा छोराछोरी बेलायतमा visit visa, short-term student visa, Parent of a Child Student visa, seasonal worker visa वा domestic worker visa मा हुनुहुन्छ, वा immigration bail मा हुनुहुन्छ भने, उहाँहरू बेलायतभित्रबाटै तपाईंको आश्रितमा स्विच गर्न सक्नुहुन्न। कसैलाई भ्रमण भिसामा ल्याएर यहीँ स्विच गराउने उपाय चल्दैन।
- बेलायतमा जन्मेको बच्चा स्वतः बेलायती नागरिक हुँदैन। बच्चा यहाँ रहनुपर्ने हो भने १८ वर्ष नपुग्दै, र बच्चालाई लिएर बेलायत आउजाउ गर्नुअघि, उसको आश्रित भिसाका लागि आवेदन दिनुपर्छ।
- परिवारमा पहिलो आवेदन दिने तपाईं हुनुहुन्छ भने, आवेदनहरू जोड्ने family linking code लिन सक्नुहुन्छ। तपाईंको परिवारले आवेदन दिँदा त्यही code हाल्छन्।
- निर्णय सामान्यतया बेलायत बाहिरबाट दिइएका आवेदनका लागि करिब ३ हप्ता र भित्रबाट दिइएकाका लागि करिब ८ हप्तामा आउँछ।
नियम परिवर्तन हुन्छन् — सधैं GOV.UK जाँच्नुहोस्
विगत तीन वर्षमा अरू कुनै क्षेत्रभन्दा यही क्षेत्रमा बढी परिवर्तन भएको छ, र ती परिवर्तन अकस्मात् आएका छन्। care worker का लागि आश्रित प्रतिबन्ध मार्च २०२४ मा आयो, medium-skilled जागिरमाथिको प्रतिबन्ध जुलाई २०२५ मा, र त्यसयता GOV.UK को केन्द्रीय dependant पृष्ठ नै हटाइएको छ। समुदाय फोरम, एजेन्ट वा पुराना गाइड — यसकै पहिलेका संस्करण सहित — मा पढेका रकम र नियम गलत हुन सक्छन्। आफ्नै भिसा रुटको पृष्ठ जाँच्नुहोस्, र जटिल अवस्था वा अस्वीकृत भए ठूलो नोक्सान हुने अवस्थामा OISC-नियमन गरिएको इमिग्रेसन सल्लाहकारसँग कुरा गर्नुहोस्: gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser।
