Visa for spouse and children under 18 to enter the UK

One of the problems of international students is being away from their families, the UK government has solved this problem by providing a visa service for spouses and children under 18 years of age. Your family (wife and children) can apply for entry and stay longer in England.

Your relatives and companions, a partner or dependent child can be one of the following:

• Your husband or wife
• Your unmarried partner
• Your child is under 18 – even if they were born during your stay in the UK.

You must provide evidence of your relationship with your spouse or children under the age of 18 when applying for a visa, for example:

• Certificate of marriage or civil partnership for your partner
• Your child’s birth certificate

If the date of your postgraduate course begins on January 1, 2024, it must include one of the following:
