new born baby to Tier 1 G

[email257525]

Dear Friends,

I understand after reading the forum that there is no rush of getting new born baby s dependant visa, and there is no time scale given when T 1 G holder has to get his baby s dependant visa.

Normally most people say wait for your extention and apply ur baby s visa along with ur application.

My extention is due in Jan 2013, do I hv to apply my baby s visa as well on that time even if we dont have any plans for travelling abroad... Baby will not be illegal or any thing. Baby was born in UK.


Please throught some light on this, and share your experiences.

Regards

Technically you do not have to ever get the child a visa. They strongly encourage it, but it is not necessary if you don't ever plan on traveling. In my case, we did have to get our daughter a passport and visa because of an impending trip when she was about 9 months old. The current laws state that if your child (born in the UK) lives in the country continuously until the age of ten, then they will automatically acquire UK citizenship and will have a lifetime right to claim such citizenship irrespective of any other status.

From the link in the post above, you can see that there is no requirement to have a visa in place for ILR. Likewise there is no such requirement to have a visa if the child is in a position to register for citizenship (when/if you get ILR).

I personally would like to have some kind of a travel document ready for that just-in-case scenario, a passport or something. But a visa will only strictly be required if the child is going to be traveling back to the UK in that case.

Hope this helps.

Not "automatically acquire UK citizenship", if born before a parent has ILR/PR/British citizenship. An application is required.

Hi All. I have gone through alot of details. on when to apply for your new born child for Visa. However I am unclear on one thing and if someone has done this before and have been successfull with it please let me know.

The Document states :

If the Tier 1 Migrant is outside the United Kingdom or has been present in the United Kingdom 42. for less than 12 months, each family member of the Tier 1 Migrant must show that he/she, the Tier 1 Migrant, or (for children) his/her other parent who is also legally present in the United Kingdom has at least £1600 to support him/her; this is in addition to any funds the Tier 1 Migrant needs to prove he/she has enough money to support himself/herself. Please note dependants of Tier 1 Investors do not need to satisfy the maintenance requirement.

If the Tier 1 Migrant has been in the United Kingdom for 12 months or more, each family 43. member of the Tier 1 Migrant must have £533 to support himself/herself.

The duration is calculated from the date you have entered in the UK or from the time when you got the VISA. For example if i got the visa on 1st Jan , and traveled on 20th Jan. from which date should i start calculating my Duration.

Many thanx

Dear Friends

Thank you very much for you all who contributed.

What I gathered, that a child born to T 1 General, does not required a dependant visa, unless baby has plans to travel abroad, thank you to UK laws,

I am planning not to spend silly money on my baby's dependant visa, will wait for my ILR then baby will be eligible to apply for citizenship.

Would I still need mentioning baby somewhere in my T1 G extention application, or wife's dependant application, and prove that I can accomodate and maintain my wife and chile in the UK without recourse to public funds.

Please put some light on these
