Can I call my husband on a dependent visa after I go on a student visa for my masters abroad in UK/Ireland?
Yes, you may be able to bring your husband on a dependent visa while you study for your master's, but the rules differ by country and program.
- Canada: If you enroll in a master's program of 16 months or longer (or a PhD), your husband may be eligible for an open work permit as your dependent. This rule applies to programs starting January 21, 2025 or later and is subject to change.
- Ireland: Spouses of international students can usually join and work full-time, but conditions depend on your visa type and program.
- UK: Only students in PhD, doctoral, or research-based master's programs can bring dependents under current rules. Taught master's students are generally not eligible.
Eligibility depends on your program and country.
