To be eligible to apply for a Parent Visa, you must be the parent of a British child or a child who is either a British citizen or resident in the UK with no immigration restrictions or has spent seven consecutive years living in the UK.
The Home Office will only seek to approve applications if you are going to take an active role in your child’s life. It is vital that you can display this. Additionally, after living continuously in the UK for a certain period, you may become eligible for indefinite leave to remain.
Contact our immigrant solicitors team, who will be able to assist with the application process.
Applications for a parent visa application from outside of the UK must be completed online along with the accompanying VAF4A application form.
Applications from inside the UK can be done online or by post. This allows applicants to remain in the UK while their application is processed.
It is also possible to advance your application through a premium service centre where you fill out the relevant form before booking an appointment.
