Skilled Worker Visa Family Eligibility Calculator

Wondering if your partner or children can join you in the UK while you work under the Skilled Worker or Health & Care Worker route?
Use our quick calculator below to check whether dependants are permitted under the July 2025 Skilled Worker visa rules.

Since 22 July 2025, only Higher-skilled (RQF 6 and above) and qualifying Health & Care Worker roles can bring dependants (partner and children under 18).
New Medium-skilled (RQF 3 – 5) roles are no longer eligible to sponsor dependants.

You’ll also need to show you can meet the financial requirement and that your dependants satisfy the relationship and suitability rules.

Our calculator takes you through each question step-by-step and gives you an instant indication of whether your dependants can apply with you from outside the UK — or what else you may need before they can.

Skilled Worker Visa Family Eligibility Calculator

Find out if your partner or children can join you in the UK under the Skilled Worker route from outside the UK.

1) Which UK work visa are you planning to apply for? 2) What is the skill level of your sponsored job (as shown on the GOV.UK occupation list)?

Ask your employer for your occupation code – it appears on your job offer or Certificate of Sponsorship. Then check the official eligible occupations and codes list.

From 22 July 2025, only Higher skilled (RQF 6 and above) roles and qualifying Health & Care Worker roles can bring dependants. New Medium skilled (RQF 3–5) jobs no longer allow dependants.

3) Who are you planning to bring with you? 4) Can you evidence the required maintenance funds for dependants?

£285 for a partner, £315 for the first child, and £200 for each additional child – unless your employer certifies maintenance on the CoS. Check the latest rules.

5) Do your dependants have any immigration issues (e.g. visa refusals, overstaying, convictions, NHS debt)?
