@Henf ****
As a French national you and your child may enter visa exempt for 30 days. When you have an education visa your child could get a dependent visa off the back of that. Your child does not need an education visa to attend a nursery school.Henf *****

you mean that my child will be attached to my study visa ?Stuart *********
@Henf ****
you would have to apply for a “dependent” visa for your child. Your child wouldn’t receive one automatically. They can piggyback off of your long term visa.Henf *****

thx you so much for your adviseStuart *********
@Henf ****
they can be. However a child (under 15) cannot be fined or blacklisted for overstay so many don’t bother with a visa for their children. No repercussions on future entries if they have an overstay stamp.Reply to
