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

Both of the child's parents must be lawfully present in Jersey or be granted entry clearance or leave at the same time, unless the student is the sole surviving parent, the student parent has had sole responsibility for the child's upbringing, or serious or compelling considerations apply and suitable care arrangements exist in Jersey.

  • The documents accepted as evidence of parentage are not stated in the cited text.

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?

Entry requires a valid entry clearance in this capacity (or, for leave to remain, admission with one). The child may be admitted or allowed to remain subject to a condition prohibiting employment, for a period not exceeding that granted to the student, and must not stay beyond the parent's leave. The official source does not state a settlement or independent longer-term route for the child.
