Parent Of British Child Visa (10 Years Route)
The Parent of a British Child visa under the 10-year route is intended for those parents who do not meet all the requirements set out in Appendix FM, such as the financial and English language requirements that are necessary for the 5-year route. The route is designed for parents who wish to live in the UK with their child. The child must be either a British or Irish citizen or hold settled status in the UK. The parent must have sole responsibility for the child to qualify for this route. This includes having sole control and direction of the child’s upbringing, including making all the important decisions in the child’s life. This visa lets applicants stay in the UK for 10 years before applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

What is the Parent of a British Child Visa?
The Parent of a British Child visa allows non-British parents to live and work in the UK to care for their child, where the child is a British or Irish citizen, or holds settled or pre-settled status.
This visa is intended for parents who are not in a relationship with the child’s other parent and who wish to play an active role in the child’s upbringing in the UK. The child must be under 18 and living in the UK at the time of application.
To qualify, one of the following must apply:
- The child is a British or Irish citizen
- The child has settled status (such as ILR, settled status, or permanent residence)
- The child has pre-settled status (and began living in the UK before 1 January 2021)
- If applying within the UK, the child has lived here continuously for 7 years, and it would be unreasonable to expect the child to leave the UK
