Spouse and Dependant Visas

If the main applicant belongs to Tier 1 / Tier 2 or Tier 5 category, the dependants can apply to join the main applicant or extend the stay to leave to remain in the UK.

Your family members (‘dependants’) can come with you when you come to the UK on this visa.
Your family members must have a visa if they’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland.
