Does the dependent visa work for UAE or UK for a Postgraduate?
Yes, dependent visas are available for both the UAE and the UK, but the rules and benefits differ.
- UAE: Residents can sponsor immediate family members (spouse, children, parents) on a dependent visa if they meet minimum salary requirements. If the main visa holder's job status changes, dependents' visa status is affected.
- UK: Dependents of certain visa holders (like Skilled Worker visas) can apply and usually have full work rights. However, dependents of Student visa holders face more restrictions - most student dependents cannot bring family except in specific cases (such as postgraduate research students).
Visa policies and work rights are subject to change.
