Do I need a tenancy agreement in my name for T2 Dependant visa?

[farazk86]

Hi all,

Im applying for my daughter to come join me in March 2019. She was born in UK but had to travel back for a few months as her mother needed to be back home for some family matters (The mother has a T2 Dependant visa until May 2019).

Since they have left, I have moved into shared accommodation where I pay for only 1 room. I dont have any tenancy agreement in my name as I saw no reason to pay for a full house when I needed only 1 room for myself.

Now that I am filling her application, I am asked for a UK address where she will be staying.

What address should I give? Should I give my current UK address? But I dont have a tenancy agreement for this.

What are my options? I cant even go rent a house from now, just for the visa, that will be very expensive and wasteful 4 months rent pay.

I am sure many people would have faced a similar problem to mine. Please advise what to do.

Thank you

I was told that it was optional , but I was applying for a spouse dependent visa. For a child dependent visa it would be advisable to prove that you have suitable accommodation.
