Adult Dependant Relative visa, however this appears to be the hardest visa to get with stringent conditions and a minuscule success rate.rbsjp wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 7:35 amI am a British Citizen. I got citizenship in 2016 via 5 year TIER 1 route. My mother is here in UK on visitor visa for 6 months. She is 80 years old widow. I am her eldest son. She has no children in India. Her daughter lives in Australia and other son ( my younger brother) in Canada. It is not possible for her to live in India alone. What are the options available for her to settle in UK?
Practically none. As mentioned above, there is the Adult Dependant Relative visa, but that has high thresholds to meet and has a refusal rate of about 80% after appeals (94% without appeals).rbsjp wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 7:35 amI am a British Citizen.

Australia have the 103 visa for the parent of a child settled in Australia.secret.simon wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 10:11 amAs you have siblings in Australia and Canada, it may be worth looking at your mother moving in with them. Canada has a "supervisa" for parents of Canadian citizens which allows them to live in Canada for two years at a time.
Get your siblings to start the process for her getting a longer stay visit visa to Canada or Australia, as the case may be.
From a very old post I found on here (which I can't find now) somebody said they had lost in court and now they had to pay the 37k(?) NHS debt for their visiting father who had a stroke. I'm fairly sure that post was before the UK brought in adding 50% to the NHS bill too!secret.simon wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:57 pmAlso keep in mind that if the visit visa is extended, her travel insurance may not be valid for a stay longer than certain periods of time (all the travel insurance policies I have used do not cover staying in the same country for more than 31-35 days). And if she were to use the NHS, she would be charged 150% cost price. At 80 years of age, that is a risk you need to evaluate seriously.
Is this the thread you had in mind?
Well done.
