Which family relationships qualify?

This route covers minor children; the family-law relationship between the child and the sponsor must be demonstrated.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The form does not define every relationship category.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The sponsor is the person with whom the child's family-law relationship is demonstrated, and proof relating to the sponsor must be provided. The official source does not state what immigration or citizenship status the sponsor must hold.

  • The exact transmission and dependency rules vary by family route.

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

Required documents include passports, legalised civil-status or family-law records, custody or permission evidence where relevant, and sponsor residence evidence; the qualifying relationship is proved through civil-status or relationship records and a personal-records excerpt.

  • This bounded capture does not provide a complete route-specific checklist.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

For family reunification or family formation, current general guidance states 120% of gross minimum-wage income when the guarantor guarantees one person and 140% when several persons are guaranteed. The official source does not state a separate percentage for a minor child, or accommodation, insurance or other maintenance responsibilities.

  • The source does not establish citizenship consequences.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The application is for a temporary regular residence permit for the stated family purpose; it is not a citizenship grant. The official source does not state the rights the child receives, how long the status lasts or how it can become independent or longer-term.

Limits of the record
  • Preserves the live general family rule and removes the historical child-specific percentage that was not shown to remain current.
