Family Visitor Visa or Child Visitor Visa for Under 18

Hi All,

I am very confused and need urgent help. My brother filled online family visitor visa application form but later he realized that he need to fill out the other application form "Child Visitor Visa" as he is under 18.

He is filling his application form on following site https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/User/Home

He has withdrawn his application as for family visitor visa as their Eligibility is following:

You must prove that you:

are 18 or over - Which he is not
are visiting the UK for less than 6 months
will leave the UK at the end of your visit
have enough money to support yourself without working or help from public funds, or that relatives and friends can support and house you
can pay for your return or onward journey
are not in transit to a country outside the UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands


Now he is trying to submit new application using

Reason For Visit: VISIT
Visa Type: SPECIAL VISITOR
Visa Sub Type: (SPECIAL )CHILD VISITOR

But when he try to select above options he is prompted with following questions:

Visa Confirmation Question(s)

Do you intend to work in the UK? Yes No
Is the main purpose of your trip to visit/stay with a close family relative who is settled in the UK? Yes NO
Do you intend to study in the UK? Yes NO

If he selects YES for second question he get following prompt:

You have answered 'yes' to one or more or the visa selection questions.

This means the visa type you have selected may not be the correct choice for your trip.
