The Home Office allows your dependants to join you in the United Kingdom. If your application to the points-based system is successful, you are allowed to bring dependants (children under 18 years of age, or your husband, wife, civil partner, or unmarried or same-sex partner) with you to the United Kingdom, provided Home Office give them entry clearance or permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain').

Partners 

A partner must meet the conditions set out in the immigration rules at paragraph 319C of part 8, of the Immigration Rules HC395. You must read the policy guidance before you apply under this category.

If the application succeeds, the partner will be given entry clearance, or permission to stay, subject to the following conditions:

• he/she must have no recourse to public funds, which means he/she will be unable to claim most benefits paid by the state; 
• he/she must register with the police, if paragraph 326 of the immigration rules requires him/her to do so; 
• he/she must not work as a doctor in training unless he/she is in the United Kingdom and his/her last grant of entry clearance or leave to remain (permission to stay) was as the spouse, civil partner, unmarried, or same-sex partner of a migrant given permission to stay under parts 3, 5 or 6 of the immigration rules; or  
• as the partner of an entrepreneur (provided that permission was not subject to a condition prohibiting employment as a doctor in training). 

Children

You can also apply for a child to stay or come into the United Kingdom if you are applying under the entrepreneur category (Tier 1 Entrepreneur) of the points-based system to work in business in the United Kingdom. 

In order to be given entry clearance or permission to stay, a child must meet the conditions set out in the immigration rules at paragraph 319H of part 8, of the Immigration Rules HC395.

If the child is successful, he/she will be given entry clearance or permission to stay subject to the following conditions:

• he/she must have no recourse to public funds, which means he/she will be unable to claim most benefits paid by the state; and 
• he/she must register with the police, if paragraph 326 of the immigration rules requires him/her to do so.
