Adult Dependent Relative (ADR) Visa

Overview

The Adult Dependent Relative Visa is intended for non-EEA (European Economic Area) adult individuals who are dependent on a close family member settled in the UK. This visa allows eligible dependents to join their family members in the UK and receive the care and support they need.

Key Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the Adult Dependent Relative Visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:
Dependency: You must be the parent, grandparent, or relative over the age of 18 and dependent on a close family member who is a British citizen or has settled status in the UK.


Dependency Requirement: You must require long-term personal care and assistance to perform everyday tasks due to a physical or mental health condition.


No Suitable Care in Home Country: It must be proven that the required care is not available or affordable in your home country, and your UK family member can adequately support and provide for your needs.


Financial Requirement: Your sponsoring family member in the UK must meet the minimum income threshold to support you without relying on public funds.

The Application Process

Online Application: The Adult Dependent Relative Visa application is typically submitted online through the UK government’s website.
Evidence of Dependency: You will need to provide comprehensive evidence of your dependency on your sponsoring family member and the extent of care you require.


Financial Documentation: Your sponsoring family member will need to submit financial documents to demonstrate their ability to support you financially.


Processing Time: Processing times may vary depending on your home country, but decisions are usually made within a few months.

To be eligible for the Skilled Worker Visa, applicants must meet the following criteria:

Visa Validity and Extensions

The initial Adult Dependent Relative Visa is usually granted for 30 months. After this period, you can apply for an extension, allowing you to stay in the UK for another 30 months. After a continuous period of five years in the UK on this visa, you may become eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and eventually British citizenship.

Seek Professional Advice

The Adult Dependent Relative Visa application process can be complex, and each case is unique. Seeking professional advice is essential to ensure that you meet all the requirements and present a strong application.

Please keep in mind that immigration rules and regulations may change over time. Always refer to the official UK government sources for the most up-to-date information.
