Greetings to everyone, I have been following this thread and gained a lot from the experience of fellow nairalanders. I am planning to secure a tier 4 student Visa for the next year september 2020 admission and planning to move with my 4 dependants (3 sons of 3,7,10 years and my wife) but I don't want to travel at the same time with them them to sort accommodation and other stuff before they finally join after 2 months

My question: can I apply for their Visa at the same time with mine and if yes, can the Visa still be active 3 months after it's issued?

Thanks.

I stand to be corrected but your tier 4 visa ll come with a proviso that you enter the uk within 1 month of issuance . You can extend it but it ll involve some letter writing.

Why not do yours first and apply for theirs later?

this is probably none of my business and I m sure you have considered the hell out of your decision but my living expenses as as a single,bus riding, doesnt eat a lot and non partying immigrant is 1k minimum.

Have you got a plan for your monthly expenses smiley

You mean I have to write a letter to extend theirs if I leave them behind?

Living expenses? I can't leave my family behind while I study abroad. But I hope we can both be able to work to support our living there in Scotland.

There is no need applying for their visa at the same time if you are not traveling with them, you can apply for them when you sort out accommodation.

Though traveling with 4 dependants will cost you about £35k if your school is outside London. That figure does not include £1500.00 Health Surcharge

Plus, none of the sons is old enough to take care of the others. So, either mummy or daddy will always have to be at home (after 5pm).
Or a carer will need to be employed, and paid minimum wage....


£35,000 is small money. Just about NGN 16,000,000.00 only

You can apply for visa at the same time for everyone but for your dependants you can put a later date as their date of entry, ...I'm not sure of the number of months allowed between such arrivals but I know different dates of entry can be put for dependants

Wow!
Do you really want to do this?
Dislodge a family of 5 ( including yourself) from Nigeria for an MSc in Scotland?
A 1 year MSc? Or maximum 24 calendar months?
Have you carefully thought this through?


Back to your original issue:
Yes. You can apply for all at the same time. Or you can stagger the applications i.e you go first, settle down a bit then apply for them to join you.

thanks for your Advice sir, do you think it will be hard to cope with financing the family if my wife works as dependant and I also support with my 15 hours work permit. I really wish I can move with them.....all necessary advice and enlightenment are welcome.

I am sponsoring my self....I can afford to pay my tuition before I leave naija and safe up to 2M to cater for some expenses till I get work to support myself. As for the maintenance fee that is needed to stay in account for 28 days, a friend is willing to help with that. Is there any other thing I need to put in place?

The problem is there no more post study visa , so to uproot a family spend all that for one year... it's something you have to think properly if it worth it

So what the plan after the master , say for example there no post study so u expected to leave after the masters? . Would that be ok?

N2,000,000 naira = £4,450 or so.

Yes, your wife can get a job, (earning probably £10 per hour). Working night shifts (because someone has to be home with the young ones).

If your visa is valid for 12 (+4 or +6) months. What happens after that? You move with your entire family of 5 back to Nigeria?
