Applying for family members to join you under QMAS

Check who qualifies as a dependant, how to arrange a later arrival and who signs a child’s application. Keep relationship evidence, support, accommodation and each person’s paperwork in view.

Eligibility depends on QMAS and dependant policies; not every relative qualifies to accompany you.
Include accompanying family in the main online application. Family members coming later apply separately under the dependant procedure.
A dependant’s permitted stay is generally linked to the sponsor’s, but each person still needs an application, documents and expiry records.
