Can I Stay in the UK as a Parent of a Child Resident for 7 Years?

Parents of children who’ve lived in the UK for 7 continuous years may qualify for the 7 year child parent route under private life provisions.

Eligibility Criteria Include:

Your child must be under 18 and have lived in the UK for 7 years

It would be unreasonable to expect the child to leave the UK

You must have parental responsibility

Visa and Migration Ltd helps parents present strong evidence—from school records to social and emotional integration proofs. We also assist with switching to this route if your current leave is expiring. Whether applying inside or outside the UK, our legal team ensures your case is thoroughly prepared and compliant.
