UK Adult Dependent Relative Visa Guidelines

The UK government has clarified the rules for adult dependent relatives applying for visas, detailing who qualifies for immediate settlement and who receives temporary permission to stay based on their sponsor's immigration status.

The UK government has established four conditions for foreigners seeking to join their family under the adult dependent relative visa. These include age, existing permission to enter, a settled sponsor, and financial support without public funds.

The UK government has announced that holders of adult dependent relative family visas are exempt from two tests required for indefinite leave to remain, specifically the English language proficiency test and the Life in the UK Test.
