14 Aug 2026 · Answered by Chaithrakala P L · 1 min read
You can bring dependants with you on a UK student visa if you meet the eligibility criteria - typically, if you are enrolled in a full-time postgraduate research degree or are a government-sponsored student.
There is no official limit to the number of dependants you can bring. Eligible dependants include your spouse or partner and children under 18. However, you must meet the financial requirements for each dependant separately.
Immigration rules are subject to change.
