Third Party Consent for Dependent Child Visa

A declaration for third-party consent to apply for a dependent child visa is a document that gives permission for someone other than the child's parent or legal guardian to handle the visa application process on behalf of the child. This declaration is typically required when a parent or guardian cannot submit the application themselves and designates another trusted individual to do so. Here's an example template:

1. Relationship to Child: I am the [parent/legal guardian] of [Child's Full Name], born on [Child's Date of Birth].

2. Consent to Third-Party: I hereby give my full consent and authorization to [Third-Party's Full Name], residing at [Third-Party's Address], to act on my behalf for the purpose of applying for a dependent child visa for my child, [Child's Full Name], with the relevant immigration authorities.

o Complete and sign all necessary visa application forms and documents.

o Submit the application and accompanying documents to the appropriate immigration office.

o Communicate with immigration officials and respond to any inquiries on my behalf.

o Receive correspondence and documents related to the visa application process.

4. Acknowledgement: I understand that this declaration does not transfer any legal guardianship rights and that I remain fully responsible for my child's welfare and all decisions related to their immigration status.

5. Duration of Consent: This consent is valid until the visa application process for my child, [Child's Full Name], is completed, unless revoked by me in writing earlier.
