Parent visa query

Post by a1977capri » Fri Jun 06, 2025 2:26 pm

Hi All
Recently i moved to UK along with my daughter on work permit around 10 days ago. i have 2 years work permit. my daughter is 17+ yrs and 8 months old and British citizen. she got citizenship in 2011 and then we moved to another country. at that time i had ILR. now we both are back in UK.
can i apply for parent visa on her behalf in next few days? or is there any residency requirement like minimum stay for her?

Thanks

That will make your visa application as a parent more complicated.

(a) Your daughter is almost an adult, and,
(b) She already has a parent legally resident in the UK who can look after her for the few months from now till her 18th birthday.

Do you have legal custody of your daughter granted by a court?
