Parent of a Child Visa UK – Providing Care and Access Rights

We specialise in assisting parents who wish to apply to enter or remain in the UK based on having access rights and provide care to their qualifying child in the UK. Our services cater to individuals who are the parent of a qualifying child and seek to fulfill their parental responsibilities without being the partner of the child’s other parent. It is important to note that the parent of a child visa route is distinct from the visa route for genuine and subsisting partner relationships.

Parent of a Child Visa Routes

There are two routes available for the parent of a child visa:

    5 Years Parent of a Child Visa Route: This route allows a parent to apply for a visa that is valid for 5 years. It is suitable for parents who have responsibility for or access to their child after the breakdown of their relationship with the child’s other parent.
  • 10 Years Parent of a Child Visa Route: For parents who are the sole parental responsibility holders for their child or have direct access to the child, this route offers a visa valid for 10 years.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for the parent of a child visa, the applicant must meet one of the following criteria:

  • Have sole parental responsibility for the child.
  • Not live with the child, but have direct access to the child as agreed with the parent or carer with whom the child normally resides, or as ordered by a UK court.
  • If applying for leave to remain, be the parent with whom the child normally lives, instead of the child’s other parent who is British or settled.
