Adult Dependent Relative

This visa applies to any adult that is in need of long-term care from a parent, grandchild, brother, sister, son or daughter who is a permanent resident in the UK. The relative who intends to care for the individual needs to qualify within on of the following categories:

  • Be a British or Irish citizen,
  • Be settled in the UK: have indefinite leave to remain, settled status or permanent resident,
  • Be from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein and have pre-settled status (they must have been living in the UK prior to 1 January 2021),
  • Have protection status in the UK.
