Bringing your family to the UK
The following family members can be Student dependants:
Your husband or wife
Your civil partner – civil partners are same sex couples who have registered their partnership to gain formal legal recognition of their relationship
Your unmarried or same-sex partner (to be unmarried or same sex partners, you will need to have been living together in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for a period of at least two years; you will be expected to provide evidence of this)
In all the above cases you must both be at least 18 years old when your partner receives their visa; or when they arrive in the UK, if they have not yet come to the UK
Your child or children aged under 18 (if applying overseas)
Your child or children aged over 18 only if applying within the UK and only if they are already your dependant under the Student visa (formerly Tier 4).
