If I’m applying for a student visa with dependents (spouse/children), does their visa take longer to be stamped and delivered than the main applicant’s?
When applying for a student visa with dependents, the visa process for your spouse and children is generally linked to your application, but it can sometimes take slightly longer than the main applicant’s visa. This is because the authorities may need to verify additional documents such as marriage certificates, birth certificates, and proof of funds to ensure you can support your dependents during your stay.
In most cases, the visas for dependents are processed around the same time as the main applicant’s, but minor delays can occur due to document verification or administrative workload. It’s important to submit complete and accurate documents for all dependents to avoid delays. Planning ahead and applying early ensures that everyone receives their visas in time for your intended travel and course start date.
