Visitors to the United Kingdom often inquire about the possibility of bringing their family along. It is indeed possible to bring your family members, known as 'dependents,' with you on your visa. However, it is important to note that they will require financial support. You are not allowed to bring any additional individuals to the United Kingdom. Dependents include your spouse, wife, common-law partner, and children under the age of 18.
Updated requirement: It is now necessary for your partner's child/children to have a predetermined amount of funds to sustain themselves while in the UK when applying for a dependent visa to the United Kingdom.
Your dependents can accompany you to the UK upon your arrival or at a later time. It is commonly advised by most companies, considering you are arriving as a pre-registered nurse, to bring your family after passing the OSCE examination or within a few months of arrival. This precaution is taken to ensure the well-being and security of all parties involved.
Your employer will provide the necessary certification for the maintenance fund required for your dependents, eliminating the need for a personal savings statement. It's important to note that you will not be eligible for any public subsidies, and you will be responsible for covering the expenses of your family's stay in the UK. For detailed information on bringing your family to the UK, please refer to the official government website at: https://www.gov.uk. Additionally, it is crucial to be aware that leaving children under the age of 12 alone at home while you are at work or outside is considered a crime in the UK. It is important to familiarize yourself with the laws regarding this matter. For further information, you can visit: https://www.gov.uk/law-on-leaving-your-child-home-alone.
