What are the UK visa requirements for bringing my family to the UK?
Under UK immigration law, your family members are: your husband or wife (spouse) or your civil partner and your children. This applies if you are in the UK with immigration permission as a student. If you are in the UK with some other type of immigration permission, you should check which of your family members can accompany you by looking at the website of the UK Border Agency of the Home Office. Immigration requirements Spouse or civil partner To come to the UK as the spouse or civil partner of a student, your spouse or civil partner must show the immigration authorities that s/he meets all of the following requirements: • s/he is married to or has entered into a civil partnership with you that is recognised by the UK Government (evidence of this is your marriage certificate or proof of civil partnership) • s/he intends to live together with you and your marriage or civil partnership is continuing • you can adequately accommodate and maintain yourselves without recourse to public fun
