A dependent visa allows eligible family members, such as spouses and children, to join a primary visa holder in a foreign country.
Typically, spouses, children, and, in some cases, parents of the primary visa holder can apply, depending on the country’s regulations.
Work eligibility depends on the country. Some countries allow dependents to work without restrictions, while others may require a separate work permit.
Commonly required documents include a valid passport, completed visa application form, proof of relationship (marriage or birth certificate), financial proof, and health insurance.
Processing times vary by country and application volume but can range from a few weeks to several months.
Some countries allow dependents to change their visa type after meeting specific requirements, such as obtaining a job offer or university admission.
Yes, most countries require proof that the primary visa holder can financially support their dependents, such as bank statements or an employment letter.
Many countries allow dependent visa holders to study, but some may require additional permits or documentation.
If the primary visa holder’s visa expires or changes, the dependent’s visa may also be affected, requiring renewal or transition to a different visa type.
Some countries offer online applications, while others require submission through an embassy or visa application center. Always check the official immigration website for details.
