Yes, proof of cohabitation is typically required for extending a dependent visa, even if you already have a marriage certificate. This proof demonstrates that you and your partner have been living together in a genuine and subsisting relationship. Acceptable documents may include joint tenancy agreements, utility bills, bank statements, or other documents showing both names at the same address.
Hi mam, thank you for sharing this information. Can you please help me with this question? Is a tenancy agreement is essential for the application of a dependent visa ,when the main applicant holds a skilled worker visa?
Yes, a tenancy agreement is important for a dependent visa application when the main applicant holds a Skilled Worker visa. The main applicant needs to ensure there is sufficient living space for the dependent, meeting the Housing Space Standards. This means providing evidence, such as a tenancy agreement, to show that adequate accommodation is available for the dependent's stay.
hi, thanks for the video. i have a question. i am on a student visa and have applied for switching to skilled work visa and is expecting to arrive by end of October. my dependents are in India. Considering the current situation where visa fees and NHS are going to increase, shall i make application for dependents with an appointment date in next month rather than waiting for my visa to arrive? i am worried if there is any risk in such case. thanks

Hi I came to Uk in October 2023 as a senior care worker and applied for my dependents my husband and my son on 28th November 2023 Rules changed in March 2024 And my dependents application got refused in august 2024 as they gave the reason that the sponsor is not A rating now and now is on suspension.. Now what if I change my sponsor where the company is A rating and give me salary £29k per year Will I be able to get my dependents now Can you please answer my question plzzz
If your dependents’ visa application was refused because your sponsor was not an A-rated sponsor, changing to a new A-rated sponsor and ensuring that you meet the salary requirements can help address the issue. If you secure a new sponsor with the correct A-rating and meet the salary threshold of £29,000 per year, you can reapply for your dependents’ visas. Make sure to update all relevant information and provide evidence of your new sponsorship and salary in the new application.

I have a doubt regarding my COS letter as it was generated in June and expired in September. It has been mentioned that my company was agreed maintenance for migrant and dependent. Is it valid for now or should I arrange the funds by myself?
Usually, if in the CoS it is mentioned that the employer will certify the maintenance then it should be fine. However, you can check with your employer once if they are fine with it
hi... Did you successfully apply for a dependent visa?..if then could you please comment here the documents that were required for applying... Also if you received the visa then how much time it took for the entire process?.
Hi , I had a 2 year dependent visa and separated . After that I have got a skilled work visa and am working right now . Total year in uk dependent visa+ skilled work visa 5 years right now . Am I eligible to apply for PR?
It depends on the type of dependent visa you were on previously. If you were on a dependent visa that allows settlement in the UK, you are eligible to apply for ILR after residing in the country for 5 years.
