Can I take my family (wife and one child) with me while studying abroad in UK/New Zealand for a Master's/Postgraduate?
13 Jul 2026 · Answered by Muskan Vashishtha · 1 min read
Yes, you can bring your wife and child while studying abroad, but the process and eligibility depend on the country.
- New Zealand: If enrolled in a master's or higher program, your partner may qualify for a work visa and your child for a student visa. - UK: If studying a full-time postgraduate course (Level 7 or above) and meeting specific requirements, your partner and child may apply as dependants. - Sweden: Your spouse and child can apply for residence permits to join you during your studies.
You must provide proof of relationship and meet financial requirements. Visa policies are subject to change.
