A dependent visa is a type of visa that allows family members of a primary visa holder to accompany or join them in a foreign country. This visa category is typically available for spouses, children, and sometimes other close relatives such as parents or siblings. The eligibility criteria and application process for dependent visas vary depending on the immigration laws of the host country and the type of visa held by the primary applicant. In many cases, dependent visa holders are granted the right to live, study, and work in the host country for the duration of the primary visa holder's stay. Dependent visas offer families the opportunity to stay together and support each other while residing abroad, fostering a sense of unity and cohesion even in a new and unfamiliar environment.

This visa requires specific documents to be submitted along with carefully filled application forms. Requirements for this visa differ among countries and may change due to various factors such as global conditions, local requirements, and job markets. Professional consultants like Alakh Overseas can help navigate through these complexities.

The application process involves submitting various documents, filling out forms, and establishing proof of relationship through submitted documents. At Alakh Overseas, we ensure our clients are guided smoothly through the entire process to obtain their Dependent Visa without any difficulties.

In some countries like Australia, partners not legally married may be eligible for a dependent visa if they can prove 12 months of cohabitation. Married couples typically need to provide a marriage certificate. Some countries allow dependent visa holders to work part-time, and student visa holders can nominate their spouse or child for a Dependent Visa, with an undertaking from the sponsor ensuring their return to their home country.
