After completing the course and getting a job, can family members relocate with me in UK?

Yes, your family members can relocate with you to the UK after your course and job, but exactly how depends on which visa you move onto once you graduate. If your job offer qualifies for a Skilled Worker Visa, you can generally bring your eligible dependants along. If you first take the Graduate Route instead, the rules for new family members become considerably more restrictive.

Your Dependant Options By Visa Route

What Applies Once Family Joins You

• Your role has to come from a licensed sponsoring employer and clear both the required skill level and the minimum salary threshold.
• You must prove enough personal savings to support your family, unless your employer certifies maintenance on your Certificate of Sponsorship.
• Spouses and partners can generally work or study without restriction, and children can attend local schools, though you pay the Immigration Health Surcharge per family member for NHS access.
• Every year your family spends with you as dependants on a work route also builds toward the 5-year residence mark needed for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

My Advice

If bringing your family along matters to you, aim to transition directly from your Student visa into a sponsored Skilled Worker Visa rather than taking the Graduate Route first, since the Graduate Route generally blocks new dependant applications. Confirm your prospective employer is a licensed sponsor and check the salary threshold for your role early, since both determine whether your family's dependant visas will actually be approved.
