Which countries allow dependent visas and what are their requirements in UK/Australia?

Many countries, including the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, and France, allow international students to bring dependents such as a spouse and children. Most require proof of relationship (like marriage or birth certificates) and financial evidence to show you can support your dependents. Work rights for spouses and study options for children vary across countries - some allow full-time work for spouses and schooling for children, while others have restrictions. Application timing, proof of funds, and exact rights depend on each country’s regulations, so requirements can differ.
