TLDR : Answer Summary

Several comments clarify that he is too old to be considered a dependent under his parents' visa. Alternatives like a medical visa, Elite visa, and Long Term Resident visa are discussed, with the Elite visa mentioned as a last resort.

Perhaps the Long Term Resident visa is a better option?

You could do medical visa if he is doing treatments the entire time with a local doctor...just need a note from doctor about how long he has to stay in the country

To be a dependent, he would need to be 20 years old or younger.
