New born tier 2

[Mawi88]

Hello everyone,
I am currently in UK (on tier 2) with my wife (dependent) and we have got a new born Baby born in the UK. I would like to get a tier 2 visa for my new born and i have a number of questions in mind that i hope you could help with:

1- can i apply for a tier 2 visa (dependent) for my new born with only the birth certificate without a passport ?


2- can the maintaince funds required be in my bank accout or my wife's ? Or does it have to be in the baby's bank account, cause i dont think banks would open account for a new borns?!?

Your help is much appreciated.

1 not without passport,

You can apply for a PBS dependant child leave without requiring a passport.
The application process provisions for this with an option - does not have a passport as the child was born in the UK. I have successfully applied for my daughter's visa without a passport.

Most people apply for dependent visa for children born in the UK if they intend to take the baby out of UK. The question, if you manage to get the dependent visa without a passport, how will the child travel without a passport. It is always good to avoid doubts. Get a passport for the child and then apply for dependent visa. It's bet that way. And if you don't have the intention of taking the baby outside UK, you can wait until either of the parents gets ILR and then apply for BC for the child.

Guess the IMHO never asked the question about travel plans. It may be wise to do things in an order but certainly not the smartest. Agreed you can't travel without a passport but the point is the process of securing either document is independent of each other which means they can be done together at the same time or in any order. I did my daughter's passport and visa at around the same time simply to save time

Thank you for the reply....
So i can apply without a passport. I am in the process of filling the application and indeed there is an option that allows you to apply with only brith certificate. However, the for the health surcharge, it seems they require a passport number ! What did you do about this ?

Its been some time so can't remember exactly but I would think the IHS was calculated on the basis of visa length and applied to the application number and not the passport.
Don't know if this has changed. Are you sure this is a required field and cannot be subsituted with say the birth certificate number in your case ( Have you tried the guidance notes?)

[Mawi88]

Well i can leave the passport number field blank; which gaudance note are you refering to ?

There are usually guidance notes with application forms which are what I was referring to. If the passport number field is not mandatory, you should be good with leaving it blank.

Hi,

I also filled the visa application form without getting a passport.
They are asking just birth certificate and photos.
My doubt is do we need to submit original passport and brp cards of both parents.
I'm planning to apply passport for my baby as well where I need to show parents passports.
Could you help me with the query .

Thanks,
