I'm here in work permit. I just want to invite my wife and kids from India for 2 months only. Should I apply dependant visa or family visa?

I understand the above said documents are compulsory for a dependent visa. Do they still ask all for Family visa as well?
I'm bit worrying since my bank statements have some over drafts in past months...
