Is it possible for my siblings to go with me with my UK work visa? We have no parents and I'm their guardian.

UK Work Visa: Can My Siblings Come as Dependents (No Parents)?

No, unfortunately, siblings cannot typically be dependents on a UK work visa. The UK work visa system is designed for skilled workers and their immediate family members, which does not include siblings.

Here's why siblings wouldn't qualify:

  • Visa Categories: The UK work visa categories don't include provisions for sponsoring adult siblings. The focus is on spouses and dependent children.
  • Financial Requirements: Work visa applicants need to demonstrate sufficient income to support themselves and their dependents. Siblings wouldn't be considered financially dependent in most cases.

However, there might be alternative options depending on your situation and your siblings' ages:

  • Dependent Children: If your siblings are under 18 and considered your legal dependents, they might be eligible for a visa under the "Child Dependent" visa category. This would require providing proof of your legal guardianship and financial capability to support them.
  • Student Visa: If your siblings are of an age to pursue higher education, they could explore a UK Student Visa. This would allow them to study in the UK and potentially work part-time to support themselves.
