Frequently asked questions
What is a dependent on a UK visa?
A dependent is a family member (spouse, partner, or child) who is included on your visa application. They are typically included because they will be living with you in the UK. Each dependent must pass their own checks and pays fees.
Do dependents pay separate fees?
Yes. Each dependent pays their own visa application fee and IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge). The application fee varies by visa type (£284 for Skilled Worker, £2,885 for ILR, etc.). IHS is typically £1,035–£776 per year per dependent.
Who counts as a dependent?
On most visas: your spouse/partner and any dependent children (usually under 18). Rules vary by visa type. Family visas have different dependent definitions (children, parents, siblings). Check GOV.UK for your specific visa route.
Is the IHS included in my calculation?
This calculator shows application fees only. IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge) is calculated separately and is based on visa duration and your age. Each dependent typically pays £1,035/year (or £776/year for students). Check GOV.UK for exact rates.
Can I include parents as dependents?
On most visas, no. The main exception is Adult Dependent visas for parents/grandparents (part of Family visas). Skilled Worker, Student, and ILR visas do not typically allow parent dependents. Check the specific route on GOV.UK.
Are these fees accurate?
These fees are based on 2025/26 rates and are for estimation only. Always verify current fees on GOV.UK before paying, as fees change annually and vary by visa duration and location.
VisaVault Dependent Fee Calculator provides estimates based on published GOV.UK fees. Fees change annually. Always verify current fees and visa requirements on gov.uk before submitting your application or paying any fees. For complex family situations, consult an OISC-registered immigration adviser.
