Explore the five recorded questions, answers and sources for this pathway.
Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?
The connecting person must hold St Helenian status, and that person must complete the approved form on behalf of the dependant to declare the exemption from the requirement to hold an Entry Permit under section 17(2)(a).

(3) If the person claiming exemption from the requirement to hold an Entry Permit under section 17(2)(a) is a dependant (other than the spouse or life partner) of the person with St Helenian status) the person with St Helenian status must, on behalf of such dependant, complete the approved form to declare the exemption.
What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the evidence needed to prove the family relationship.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record
- Read Immigration Ordinance section 17(2), Immigration Regulations regulation 10 in full and the official Immigration Exemptions page. Regulation 10(3) requires only that the person with St Helenian status completes the approved form on behalf of the dependant; no relationship evidence is specified. The three-month subsisting-relationship proof in regulation 10(2) belongs to the spouse or life partner cohort and was deliberately not carried across.
What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance requirements.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record
- Read Immigration Ordinance sections 17 and 23, Immigration Regulations regulations 10 and 14, and the Immigration Exemptions page. No financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibility is attached to a certificate of exemption. Regulation 14(b), which requires financial means to maintain, accommodate and repatriate, applies to revoking an entry permit or other permission, not to the exemption certificate, so it was not used here.
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?
A person exempt from Entry Permit requirements is not necessarily exempt from permission to work requirements: dependants of St Helenians are generally exempt from permission to work requirements, while dependants of migrants are not and must apply for permission to work under one of the work based categories. The official source does not state how long the exemption lasts or whether it can become an independent or longer-term status.
