Are dependent visas applicable for any country I choose to study in in UK/Australia for a Postgraduate?
It depends. Dependent visas are available in many countries, but eligibility and conditions vary by country and your course type.
- Australia: Spouses and children can join on dependent visas; dependents may get work rights based on your visa. - Canada: Spouses can apply for open work permits; children can attend school. - New Zealand: Partners and children can apply for visitor or student visas, depending on your course level and length. - UK: Dependents allowed mainly for full-time postgraduate or government-sponsored students, with specific course and duration requirements. - US: F-2 dependent visas are available, but F-2 holders cannot work.
Visa rules and eligibility are subject to change.
