Student Dependant Visa: Travel with your family

STUDENT DEPENDANT VISA: THE BEST COUNTRY TO TRAVEL TO WITH YOUR FAMILY

One should not give up on their desire to study abroad because they are either married with kids or they are a single parent, this should not stop a person from advancing their career. There are several opportunities for one to professionally build his/her career and this can be done while travelling with family members such as parents, spouses or children using a student dependant visa. As a parent, your children look up to you, so you should teach them to be ambitious, hardworking and focused and help them build a better life and aspire for a brilliant career. This can be done with a dependant visa.

WHAT IS A DEPENDANT VISA?

A dependent visa is a kind of visa that allows prospective study abroad students to travel with their spouse or their children to the country of their choice and study at the university they desire. By doing this, you will not only be on your way to building a successful career but you will also be helping your children or spouse lead a better life.

During the process of getting a dependant visa, a prospective student is known to be the primary applicant and the family members are known as the dependants.

With a dependant visa, the dependants can:

Stay with the primary applicant/family.
Travel and explore
Study (in some cases)
Work (in some cases)

The different types of dependent visas are:

Temporary visa
Permanent visa

A Temporary dependant visa enables the spouse of the primary applicant to work (with limited capacity), it also enables the children of the primary applicant to study, as long as they are below 17years.

A permanent dependent visa enables the dependants of the primary applicant to become permanent residents. This can only be possible if the dependants have lived in the country for more than 5 years.

THE REQUIREMENTS

Valid passport
Proof that your relationship is genuine. (Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Photo Album etc)
Original birth certificate
Evidence of meeting the financial requirement (Proof of funds) for each dependant
Properly filled visa application form.
Proof of Visa fee etc

CONDITIONS NEEDED TO GET A DEPENDANT VISA FOR COUNTRIES LIKE CANADA, IRELAND, THE USA AND THE UK

A Student who intend to study in the US or who is already studying in the US can bring their families to live with them as they study. The family member is required to provide both their valid and expired international passport, multiple proofs of their relationship with the primary applicant (the student). Like a Marriage certificate, Wedding invitations and cards, Birth certificate, photos or Weddig album. There are different types of US dependant visas some of which permit a dependant to work while other types restrict them from working while in the US as a dependant.

To get a Canadian dependant visa, the family members are required to take an English Level Test and provide other important documents like documents containing proof of relationship with the primary applicant before a dependant visa can be granted. Fortunately, dependants are permitted to work in Canada with a Canadian dependant visa.

A student with plans to study in Ireland should be aware that they are not allowed to travel with their family members while studying in Ireland, as their families are expected to make their own Visa applications. However, prospective study abroad students are permitted to travel with their families if they intend to study a PhD program in Ireland.

The United Kingdom can be said to be the best country where prospective students with a UK Student visa can get a dependent visa for their family to travel with them as they go for their studies abroad. The UK student dependant visa is known to make travelling with your family fast and easy. A valid international passport for identification, marriage certificate and birth certificate is enough for proof of relationship between the dependant and the primary applicant, the dependant can work with a dependant visa while in the UK, the dependant is not required to write an English Level Test to apply for a UK dependant visa.
