Applying for a UK visa on the basis of sole responsibility can be complex and requires a clear demonstration of your role in your child’s life. At UK Visa Consultants, we specialise in guiding parents through the visa process, ensuring strong applications supported by the right evidence.
Parents who wish to bring their child to the UK must prove that they have exclusive responsibility for the child’s upbringing and welfare. This is a high legal threshold, but with our expertise, you can present your case confidently.
Sole responsibility means that you, as the parent or guardian, are the only person making important decisions about the child’s upbringing, education, health, and overall well-being. It is not enough to provide financial support—you must show active involvement in their day-to-day life.
