Hello,
Asking for a family friend, can an application be made for an older child who works and not dependent on parent. He would like to visit his mother and not to stay in the country. What type of application should he apply to, if not this one.

If the "child" is a EU national, then they don't need a visa to just visit the UK.
But maybe, is there anything that makes them think they will have an issue? What's the nationality of the child? Of the mother? Does the mother have Settled Status? Etc.

Thanks for the response.
The child is Nigerian, however the mother is Portuguese by status. The mother currently hold a settled status in the UK.
The child is 30years and currently working so unsure which application to make as he is not fully financially dependent on the mother.
Do you have to be financially dependent on your EU sponsor to apply for EU settlement permit?

Not a child.
Offspring over the age of 21 need to be dependent on their sponsor, therefore he does not qualify for the EUSS.
According to the "Do you need a visa?" form, and the situation you have described, he most likely needs a standard visitor visa to come to the UK:
