I am posting on behalf of friend of mine, he is British and he want to bring his parents ( father and Mather ) to UK. The details are below :
He is British citizen ( by nutrazation , originally Syrian , arrived UK years ago seeking asylum then indefinite leave to remain then British citizen recently) he is working full times with over 25k per year as salary .
His parents( father and mother ) : both of them are / Syrian citizen and never seek asylum in any country , over 70 years old , living in UAE for the last 25 years / , the father is thatcher at the university and the mother is house wife .
Basically the parents are retired now therefore they can’t stay anymore in UAE as the father’s contract come to end with the university , which it’s mean they have to go back to Syria , but due to the bad circumstances in Syria the son wants to bring them to UK .
The questions are :
1- can he bring them to UK? If yes then what kind of visa he need to apply for them ?
2- what’s the requirements for this visa , and how long they can stay in UK ?
3- can this visa lead in the future for settlement?

Note : he have one brother live in Netherland and one sister married and live in UAE .

Thank you

Thank you for the swift reply, but please note that the parents are Syrian citizens , which it’s very very hard for them to get this kind of visa .
My friend was thinking if there is any kind of visa ( like invitation) were he can apply fir them from the UK and then when it’s approved from the HO he we’ll send them the invitation to the embassy in UAE.
