If your spouse, parent, or partner is already in the UK, you may be eligible to join them using a UK Dependent Visa. This visa allows you to live, study, and work in the UK while staying with your loved ones.
To qualify, the main visa holder must prove they can financially support you without public funds. You’ll need to provide proof of relationship (such as a marriage or birth certificate), financial documentation, accommodation details, and pass an English language test if you're over 18.
The application is submitted online, followed by a biometric appointment. Processing times are typically between 3 to 8 weeks. Once granted, you can travel to the UK and live with your sponsor for the same duration as their visa. Many Zimbabwean families reunite through this visa route, creating stability and support abroad.
