The UK Skilled Worker Visa opens opportunities for skilled professionals to live and work in the UK. While the visa supports dependents like spouses and children, options for bringing extended family members are more limited and subject to specific UK immigration requirements. Here’s what you need to know.
Who Can You Bring on a Skilled Worker Visa?
The Skilled Worker Visa is primarily designed to accommodate immediate family members, including:
- Spouse or Civil Partner: Recognized legal partners.
- Children Under 18: Dependents who live with you.
- Children Over 18: If they are already in the UK as dependents and still reliant on you.
Extended family members, such as parents, siblings, or other relatives, are not typically eligible under this visa.
Options for Extended Family Members
If you wish to bring extended family members, alternative visa pathways must be explored:
- Adult Dependent Relative Visa: Designed for elderly parents or dependent relatives who require long-term care that only you can provide.
- Visit Visa: Allows extended family members to visit temporarily for up to six months.
- Separate Skilled Worker Visa: If eligible, extended family members may apply independently for a Skilled Worker Visa.
Each option has its own eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and processing timelines.
