Can a student apply for a dependent visa for their daughter to accompany them abroad in New Zealand/Germany for a Postgraduate?
Yes, you can usually apply for a dependent visa to bring your daughter with you while studying abroad, but the rules vary by country.
- Germany: Children under 18 can typically accompany you if you have sufficient funds and health insurance. Your daughter would need to apply for a national visa (Type D) with proof of relationship and financial support.
- United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand: Eligibility depends on your course type and level. Generally, full-time postgraduate students may bring children, but requirements differ.
You’ll need documents like a birth certificate, financial proof, and health insurance for your daughter. Visa rules and processes are subject to change. For next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor to review your specific situation and country requirements.
