Dependent Visa Assistance - what we deliver.

Family rules differ sharply by destination - and they change often. Canada restricts student-spouse work rights by programme; the UK allows dependants only for research programmes and government-sponsored students; Australia ties partner visas to master's/doctoral enrolment; Ireland and Singapore generally do not allow student dependants at all.

We assess honestly whether your destination and programme support family accompaniment, calculate the additional funds required, and prepare complete family applications where the route exists.

FAQs

Dependent Visa Assistance questions, answered.

Which countries allow student dependants?

Canada (programme-restricted), Australia (master's/PhD and listed programmes), Germany (with A1 German for spouses and sufficient funds), and Ireland (generally not for students). The UK restricts to research and sponsored routes. We verify current rules per case.

Can my spouse work on a dependant visa?

It depends on destination and your programme: Australian and German student-partner permits often allow work; UK dependants of research students can work; Canadian student-spouse work rights are programme-linked. We map your specific case.
