Hi, new to the group. I'm looking to bring a parent under the LTR wealthy pensioner visa. Does anyone know what requirements are for a parent coming as a dependent? I understand that parents can now be included as dependents.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A new member inquired about bringing a parent under the LTR wealthy pensioner visa as a dependent. Initial comments stated that parents cannot qualify for this visa category, as it traditionally allows only spouses and children. However, there were conflicting comments suggesting that recent updates might permit parents as dependents. Questions remain about other requirements, such as insurance and additional fees.

I believe the insurance is all they will need, Im not sure if there is any other fees or not. I need to do more research.

then contact the BOI directly to ask as they are the ones who decide what is and isn't required for everything. The LTR visa is their visa and they process all applications and make all decisions.

You cannot get an LTR dependent visa for a parent. The LTR only allows that for spouse and children. This is directly from their website.
