The Child Visit Visa route is for children under the age of 18 who wish to enter the UK for the purposes of visiting family, friends or spending a short holiday.
Talk to our experts and get the right advice first time, every time.
To qualify for a UK Child Visit Visa, you are required to demonstrate to the UK Visas & Immigration that you are a genuine visitor. You can prove that you are a genuine visitor by demonstrating the following:
You intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit;
You have no intention of living in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits;
You do not intend to make the UK your main home;
You are genuinely asking for permission to enter the UK as a Visitor and for the specific purpose of visiting;
You will not engage in or undertake any of the activities prohibited by the Immigration Rules;
You have enough money to cover all reasonable costs associated with your trip to the UK without working or recourse to public funds.
In addition to the above you will also need to satisfy the UK Visas & Immigration that:
Adequate arrangements have been put in place for your travel to the UK, as well as your reception and care in the UK;
If you are applying to visit the UK without a parent or guardian, who is responsible for your care, you must obtain their written consent to the arrangements for your travel to the UK, as well as your reception and care in the UK for the duration of your visit; and
Your UK Child Visit Visa must confirm whether you will be unaccompanied on your visit to the UK or travelling with an adult. If the Visa states that you will be accompanied by an adult on your travel to the UK, it must also confirm the identity of that adult.
The specific requirements, that may be applicable to you, will differ depending on your circumstances. You may wish to seek expert advice from an immigration lawyer.
An application for a UK Child Visit Visa must be made from outside the UK and usually from the country in which you are permanently resident. However, citizens of some countries do not need to apply for a UK Child Visit Visa prior to their arrival in the UK and can apply for a Visit Visa on arrival at the UK Border.
If you successfully secure a UK Child Visit Visa, you will be granted a visa which will be valid for up to 6. During the validity of your Visit Visa, you will be permitted to leave and enter the UK multiple times, unless your Child Visit Visa is endorsed as a single or dual-entry visa.
As a Child Visit Visa holder, you will be able to visit family, friends, or travel to other parts of the UK.
As a Child Visit Visa holder, you will be prohibited from receiving payments from a UK source for any activities undertaken in the UK or from engaging in more than 30 days’ non-incidental study in the UK.
You must also show the UK Visas & Immigration that you have enough money to cover the costs associated with your trip to the UK without recourse to public funds. The costs associated with your visit will include, but will not be limited to, costs of your travel tickets, planned activities in the UK, and cost of maintaining and accommodating any dependents.
When considering whether you have sufficient funds to cover the costs associated with your visit to the UK, the UK Visas & Immigration will accept third party support from a UK Sponsor provided that you can show genuine professional or personal relationship with the third party Sponsor. The third party Sponsor will also be required to provide documentary evidence to demonstrate that they have the funds to cover the costs associated with your visit to the UK.
