UK Health and Care Worker Dependant Visa

A UK Health and care worker dependant visa is a pathway that allows partners and children of a health and care worker to join them in the UK during their leave. Dependants may live, study and work in the UK. Eligible family members include the partner (spouse/civil partner/unmarried partner) or dependent child of someone applying for a Health and care Worker visa or already living in the UK under this category.

It is crucial to prove you meet the eligibility requirements using adequate documentary evidence. Here are some important documents that must be included with your application –

• Passport and other Identity documents
• Proof of Knowledge of the English language
• T.B. test report
• Proof of meeting the minimum salary threshold
• Proof of financial maintenance
• Proof of relationship being genuine and subsisting
• Proof of accommodation

You must meet both the eligibility and suitability requirements to get an approval on your UK Health and care Worker dependant application. If your application has been refused, you may challenge the decision or you can reapply. It is extremely important to seek professional guidance to trace the next steps after your application has been refused.

A UK Health and care Worker Dependant visa costs the same as that of your sponsor’s application. It depends upon the length of the visa applied for. The cost for less than 3 years, is £284 and £551 where the sponsor is granted a visa for more than 3 years. Additional fees may also be levied if you opt for priority processing services.
