SPOUSE VISA
A Dependent Visa is a special type of visa that allows the spouse and children of someone with a corresponding visa to live with them in another country. This is mainly for people who are moving abroad for work and might have opportunities for advancement.
With a dependent visa, your family members can:
- Live with you in the new country.
- Travel around and explore the new place.
- Sometimes they can work too, depending on the rules.
- They can also get permission to stay in the country temporarily or even permanently.
If you’re an international student who finished school or a master’s program, you can apply for a dependent visa for your spouse or children.
To apply, you’ll need:
- Your passport and your family’s passports.
- Proof of your marriage or partnership.
- Birth certificates for your children.
- Medical test results.
- Proof that you have enough money to support your family.
- Proof of your job or employment status.
- Sometimes you’ll need more papers showing you’re allowed to work where you’re going.
Here are the steps to apply:
- Get all your documents together.
- Fill out the application form.
- Pay the visa fee.
- Go to the embassy or consulate in your area.
- They’ll look at all your papers.
- They’ll decide whether to give you the visa or not.
- If everything is okay, they’ll give you the dependent visa.
That’s it! Just follow these steps, and hopefully, you’ll get the visa for your family.
