Adult Dependant Relative Visa

NARA Solicitors advises families seeking to bring an elderly or infirm relative to the UK as an Adult Dependant Relative, a route with strict requirements that demands careful preparation.

Adult Dependant Relative Visa Applications

The Adult Dependant Relative Visa allows a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, son, or daughter of a person settled in the UK to join them here, but only where the relative requires a level of long-term personal care that can only be provided by the sponsoring family member in the UK because equivalent care is not available or not affordable in the country where the relative currently lives. This is one of the most restrictive family visa routes in the UK immigration system, and in most circumstances applications must be made from outside the UK.

The evidential requirements are detailed and demanding. You must demonstrate both the need for care and the unavailability of equivalent care in the relative's home country. Medical evidence, evidence of care options in the home country, and evidence of the relationship with the UK sponsor are all required. The sponsor must also meet a financial requirement. Applications are refused at a high rate, and it is important to go into the process with a thorough understanding of what the Home Office is looking for.

NARA Solicitors advises sponsors and their relatives on the Adult Dependant Relative Visa, helping to build the strongest possible case based on the specific medical and care circumstances involved. We can also advise where a previous application has been refused and on whether there are grounds to appeal or make a fresh application with additional evidence.
