What is an adult dependant Visa?

The Adult Dependant Relative Visa (ADR) route is for any person aged 18 years or older to be sponsored by a qualifying relative in the UK for settlement purposes.

This visa route is made available to those applying outside the UK. Those persons who wish to make an application inside the UK can do so only under specific and exceptional circumstances on the basis of human rights.

Requirements for an ADR Via

To qualify for an ADR visa, the below specific requirements must be met:

1. Relationship to Sponsor:

You must be related to your sponsor.

You must either be your sponsor’s parent, grandparent, sibling, or child aged 18 or over.

Your sponsor must either be a British citizen, settled in the UK, have refugee status, or have humanitarian protection.

2. Need for Long-term Care:

You must have a long-term physical or mental condition which requires long-term personal care.

You must be able to demonstrate sufficiently that the care you require is either unavailable or unaffordable.

3. Financial and Accommodation Support:

Your sponsor must demonstrate they have the financial ability to maintain, accommodate, and care for you in the UK without recourse to public funds for the duration of your visa.
