Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Our team answers within one working day.

  • Most family visas allow the holder to work without a separate permit, but the rule varies by country.

  • Family applications take longer than visitor visas because the relationship and the sponsor finances are both checked.

  • Each country sets a minimum yearly income for the sponsor, which rises with the number of dependants.
