Moving abroad is a life-changing decision. Make it complete by bringing your spouse, children, and loved ones along. We handle every dependent visa application with the same care as yours.
Most countries allow the primary visa holder to bring immediate family members on a dependent or family visa. Here is who typically qualifies and what rights they receive.
Your legally married spouse can join you on a dependent visa in most countries. Some countries also recognise unmarried partners in a long-term committed relationship (common-law/de-facto). Your spouse typically has the right to live, and in many countries work, alongside you.
Children under 18 (and in some cases up to 21 or 24 if in full-time education) can be included in a dependent visa application. They receive the right to study in local schools and universities — often at subsidised or even free rates — and live with you throughout your stay.
Bringing parents abroad is possible through specific parent or super visa categories. Countries like Canada offer a Super Visa valid for up to 10 years. Some nations also allow siblings or other dependants under specific humanitarian or sponsorship programs. Eligibility is highly country-specific — we assess each case individually.
Each country has its own rules on who qualifies, what rights dependants get, and what documents are required. Here is a summary of the most popular destinations.
🇬🇧
Skilled Worker visa holders can bring their spouse and children under 18. The UK dependant visa grants full work rights to your spouse — they can work for any UK employer without restriction. Children can attend UK state schools. This is one of the most generous dependent visa policies in the world.
🇨🇦
Canadian work permit holders can sponsor spouses for an Open Work Permit, allowing them to work for any employer. Children can attend Canadian schools and universities. Canada's Super Visa is available for parents and grandparents of PRs and citizens, allowing stays of up to 5 years per visit.
🇩🇪
Germany's Family Reunification Visa allows spouses of Blue Card holders or work permit holders to join within a few months. Spouses receive a residence permit that also includes the right to work — no separate work permit required. Children under 16 can join without language requirements; older children may need basic German.
🇦🇺
In Australia, spouses and dependent children are added as secondary applicants on the primary visa holder's application. They receive the same visa conditions and work rights as the main applicant. Dependants can study at Australian universities and access Medicare (the national health scheme) in most visa categories.
🇺🇸
Spouses and children of H-1B, F-1, and J-1 visa holders receive H-4, F-2, or J-2 dependent visas respectively. H-4 spouses of certain H-1B holders with an approved I-140 petition may apply for Employment Authorization (EAD), allowing them to work. Children can attend US schools and universities.

Partners of New Zealand work visa holders can apply for a Partner of a Worker Visa, which grants open work rights. Children can apply for a Student Visa or be included as dependants on the family application. New Zealand's safe, family-friendly environment makes it a top choice for families relocating together.
Whether you are applying simultaneously with your own visa or bringing family later, our process is designed for a smooth and stress-free experience.
We review your visa type, destination country's dependent rules, and your family members' details (ages, relationship status) to confirm eligibility and identify the correct visa category.
Embassies require strong proof of genuine relationship. We guide you on exactly what documents establish your relationship — marriage certificates, birth certificates, joint financial records, photographs, and more.
The primary visa holder must demonstrate the financial ability to support dependants. We assist in preparing salary slips, employment contract, accommodation proof, and bank statements in the format required by each country's embassy.
Dependent visa applications are separate from the main application in most countries and carry their own forms and fees. We fill, review, and cross-check every form carefully before submission to avoid any errors.
We book biometrics appointments for all family members at the nearest VFS / consulate centre, coordinate the scheduling together so everything happens in one trip, and prepare them for any questions they may face.
Once approved, we brief your family on entry requirements, school enrolment, NHS / Medicare registration, and other settling-in steps so they feel at home from the moment they land.
Documentation requirements differ by country and visa type. Here is a comprehensive overview of what is typically needed for a dependent visa application.
Dependent visas involve complex relationship documentation and strict sponsorship requirements. Our experienced team has successfully reunited thousands of families across the globe.
We understand that a dependent visa is not just paperwork — it is about your family. Our advisors handle each case with the sensitivity and care it deserves, keeping you informed at every step.
We manage your main visa and dependent applications simultaneously, reducing the total processing time and ensuring your family can travel together without unnecessary delays.
Building a compelling relationship case is an art. We guide you on what evidence to collect, how to present it, and what supporting statement to write to satisfy embassy requirements.
Already abroad? You can bring your family later. We handle secondary dependent applications for family members joining you after you have already arrived in your destination country.
After visa approval, we help parents understand school enrolment processes, childcare options, health registration, and other key settling-in steps for children and families.
Rules change frequently. We stay up to date with the latest dependent visa policies — including income thresholds, English requirements, and accommodation standards — for every country we cover.
