Immigration rules for 18+ and dependent visa holder travelling alone

Post by garrick » Sun Feb 13, 2022 7:56 am

Hi, Can anyone please confirm if there is any restriction on 18+ years old having dependent visa to travel to and fro to UK? Main visa holder is either in UK or home country ( India) during that period.

Risky, if they are not joining or accompanying the main migrant?

hello Vinny, link provided by you does not relate to my query. Can I please get if there is any immigration policy which says dependent always needs to travel along with main visa holder?

If the entry clearance endorsement says “to accompany” or “to join” the main migrant and the dependant is doing neither, then they may refuse entry due to a change of circumstances or purpose. It’s probably okay if the main migrant is in the UK, but there may be risks if the main migrant is elsewhere.
