Baby born in UK- Dependent Visa

[pakkudu]

Hello All,

I am planning to apply for dependent visa for my 8 months old baby from UK.
I am on Tier-2 work visa.

Do I need to maintain balance in bank account ? if then how much ?
My CoS says " Tick to certify maintenance for migrant (and dependants, if applicable): Y"

So do I have to maintain bank balance ? if not , do I require any further documents from employer to certify this or just apply for the visa ?


Thanks in advance

Cheers

you only need this when you are traveling outside and coming back to UK .

hello!

i just like to ask, during those 8mos that ur baby has no visa at all, does your baby able to use NHS for free? how about vaccines or when ur baby feels ill?

have you already processed baby visa? what requirements did you prepare?

If you apply separately from the main applicant you will need to have the necessary funds to meet the maintenance requirement or have a written undertaking from an A-rated Sponsor, unless the main applicant already had leave in a Tier 2 category and when applying for their most recent period of Tier 2 leave was not required to show evidence of satisfying maintenance requirements.

So basically as you dint needed to show funds when applying for their most recent period of Tier 2 leave was not required to show evidence of satisfying maintenance requirements.
