METV for dependents…..

I have 3 children. Do I just apply for their METV independently or is there an METV dependent visa?

Thanks in advance
Answer summary
The METV (Multi-Entry Tourist Visa) does not have a dependent option; each child must apply for their own METV independently. It’s important to consider the ages of the children, as those under 14 years may be exempt from overstay fines.

Does that equate to 800k in funds required??

How old are the children? Children under 14 years are exempt from overstay fines. Still not ideal. Best to just get additional METVs for them.

No such thing as dependants as far as an METV is concerned. Each person needs their own.
