Prepare for your next chapter together.
Organise the documents and next steps for joining your partner or family abroad, guided by the requirements for their visa route.
Overview
Bring your family’s preparation together.
Joining family abroad involves connecting your relationship records with the main applicant’s immigration status and the destination’s rules. We help you organise the information, prepare questions about the appropriate route and coordinate the family’s application steps.

A coordinated plan for joining your family
Bring the main applicant’s information, family records and each person’s preparation into one schedule, starting with the official requirements for the relevant route.
Understand your family’s plans
Discuss who is joining whom, the destination and your intended timeline. Identify the main applicant’s visa or immigration status and the information already available.
Research the appropriate family route
Check the authority’s current guidance for dependants under the main applicant’s route. Identify any eligibility questions that need advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
Organise relationship evidence
Gather identity and family relationship records requested for the application, such as marriage or birth records. Note any translation or certification instructions.
Connect the supporting information
Bring together the main applicant’s status records and the financial, accommodation or other information specified by the official checklist.
Coordinate each application
Keep each family member’s forms, documents, reference details and any required appointments organised. Review the sequence for applying together or separately.
Prepare for the next steps together
Follow official status updates and requests. After a decision, review the permission and arrival requirements for each family member before arranging the move.
