Dependent Visa Extension
Application guidance for eligible dependants extending their permission to remain in the UK.
Dependent Visa Extension Application Support
A dependant extension may allow an eligible partner or child to continue living in the UK with the main visa holder, provided the relevant dependant requirements continue to be met.
Zayn Law can help you review the main applicant’s status, relationship or child evidence, financial information where relevant and the supporting documents needed for the extension application.

Check the current and proposed immigration position of the main visa holder.

Key Areas We Can Review
Main Visa Route
Review how the dependant application links to the principal visa holder.
Family Relationship
Prepare evidence showing the continuing partner or child relationship.
Financial & Residence Evidence
Organise relevant financial and UK residence information where required.
Extension Timing
Prepare the application before the current dependant permission expires.
Why Careful Preparation Matters
Dependant extension applications should clearly show the relationship to the main applicant and continued eligibility under the relevant route.
Inconsistent family details, weak relationship documents or missing financial evidence can create avoidable issues. Coordinating the dependant application with the main visa holder’s status is important.
