It’s crucial to understand the financial conditions you must satisfy before inviting your family to visit, though. This post will cover all financial requirements to bring your family to the UK.

What will bringing your family to the UK cost?

You must demonstrate that you make a minimum of £18,600 a year to be granted a partner or spouse visa. Your personal income, as well as your partner’s income, may be included in this. For instance, you would satisfy the minimum income criterion if you made £15,000 a year and your partner made £4,600

You must demonstrate an additional £3,800 for your first child and £2,400 for each additional child if you have children. So, if you only have one child, you must demonstrate a minimum yearly income of £22,400 (£18,600 + £3,800). You must demonstrate a minimum annual income 

Hence, if you have one child, you must demonstrate a minimum yearly income of £24,800 (£22,400 + £2,400). You must demonstrate a minimum annual income of £27,200 (£22,400 + £2,400 + £2,400) if you have two children. 

Does the supporting money need to be from my salary?

It’s crucial to remember that the necessary funds can be obtained from various sources, including pension income, self-employment revenue, rental income, savings, and employment income. You must present proof of your earnings and/or savings as part of your visa application. 

  • Many revenue streams, including those from jobs, self-employment, non-employment, savings, and pensions, can be used to meet financial obligations. 
  • You might be able to depend on a third party to offer financial support if you cannot achieve the requirements through income or savings. 
  • If you need help with the necessary funds or how to secure them, seeking professional counsel is crucial. 

Third Party Sponsors

You might be able to depend on a third party to offer financial support if you cannot achieve the requirements through your own income or resources. A friend or relative willing to serve as your financial sponsor falls under this category. 

It’s essential to remember that relying on a third-party sponsor can be dangerous. The sponsor must demonstrate that they have sufficient resources to sustain you and your family on their own and give proof of their income and/or savings. 

The sponsor will also provide for you and your family for the full time your visa is valid, which might be several years. Your visa may be in jeopardy if the sponsor cannot continue providing financial support. 

That’s why it’s important to seek professional advice if you need clarification on the financial requirements or how to meet them. You can learn about your options and get help applying for a visa from an immigration lawyer or counselor. 

Bringing your family to the UK can be a great opportunity. You must demonstrate a minimum annual income of £18,600 to £22,400, plus additional cash for each child, depending on whether you’re seeking a partner or spouse visa or as a parent. 

F.A.Q.

Can I bring my family to Britain?

Typically, your family member must obtain an EU Settlement Scheme family permit in order to enter the United Kingdom. If they already have a valid family, work, or student visa, they do not need a permit. They must be outside of the United Kingdom to apply for the permit. The application for the permit is free.
