I have a Student Route visa, can I bring my family to the UK?

Your partner and children ("dependants") may be able to apply to come to the UK or stay longer in the UK.

You must be one of the following:

• a government-sponsored student starting a course that lasts longer than 6 months
• a full-time student on a postgraduate level course (RQF level 7 or above) that lasts 9 months or longer

If your postgraduate level course starts on or after 1 January 2024, it must be either:

• a PhD or other doctorate (RQF level 8)
• a research-based higher degree

Your family members will have to pay a visa application fee and pay the healthcare surcharge as part of their visa application.

It is important you read the information and rules applicable to bringing your dependants to the UK. Please see the UK Government advice and the UKCISA website.
