Parent Of A British Child (10-Year Route)

Overview

The parent of a British Child visa is designed for non-European Economic Area (EEA) nationals who are the parents of a child who is a British citizen or has lived in the UK for at least seven years. This visa category allows parents to join their children and live with them in the United Kingdom. The 10-Year Route refers to the requirement of continuous residence in the UK for ten years, leading to the possibility of settlement.
10-Year Parent Route Requirements

10-Year Parent Route Requirements, you must meet specific requirements. These include:

    • Relationship with the child: You must be the biological or adoptive parent of a child who is a British citizen or has lived in the UK for at least seven years.
    • Sole responsibility: You must have sole responsibility for the child’s upbringing or, if shared with the other parent, the other parent must not be involved in the child’s life.
    • Financial requirement: You must demonstrate that you can adequately support yourself and your child in the UK without recourse to public funds.
    • English language skills: You must prove your English language ability by passing an approved English language test at the required level.
    • Good character: You must provide evidence of your good character, including criminal record checks from any country you have lived in for over 12 months.

One of the essential aspects of the 10-Year Parent Route is demonstrating continuous residence in the UK for ten years. Continuous residence means that you have been living in the UK uninterrupted without significant gaps.

However, there are some limited circumstances in which short absences from the UK may not break the continuity of your residence. Our immigration solicitors will assist you in compiling the necessary evidence to establish your continuous residence.
