Dependents applying to join the main applicants in the UK are required to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support themselves. This can be done by either maintain savings of the specified amount, or in certain cases even the sponsor/employer can endorse maintenance. There is an amount fixed by the Home Office for the main applicant and the dependents which they have to maintain for a period of three months or 90 days without moving it at all. This amount is mandatory to maintain as the Home Office wants to ensure that the applicants and their dependents are self-sufficient and will not take any recourse to UK public funds if at all it comes to that. These are the two mandatory requirements for a dependent visa. If the dependents fail to meet these requirements then their application may get refused. An interesting point to be noted here is that the Spouse/Civil partner/ unmarried partner and children of a British National or a person holding Indefinite Leave to Remain do not qualify as dependents in the PBS. There are different sets of visas for such dependents falling under the Family visas category like Spouse visa, fianc├® visa, same sex partner visa etc.
