Adult Dependent Relative Visa – Reuniting Families
Bring your loved one home
If your elderly or dependent family member needs long-term care only you can provide, this visa allows them to live with you in the UK – permanently.
What is an Adult Dependent Relative Visa?
The Adult Dependent Relative (ADR) Visa allows close family members who require long-term personal or medical care to join their relatives in the UK. It is designed for those whose needs cannot be met in their home country, enabling them to live permanently with their UK-based family.

Dependency
Need for long-term personal or medical care that cannot be met in home country.
Financial
