Confused about proof of funds for my newborn’s dependent visa (SWV)

Post by alasa995 » Wed Nov 05, 2025 3:30 pm

Hi everyone,

I’m currently on a Skilled Worker Visa, and I’m applying for a dependant visa for my newborn son (born in the UK).

In the online application, there’s a question about proof of funds that’s confusing me. As far as I understand, my son is technically the “main applicant” in this case. Since my employer has already certified maintenance on my CoS, I don’t think I need to provide a bank statement — but I’m planning to include one anyway just to be safe.

The issue is: if I select “Yes” for using third-party support, it asks for a signed declaration from the “applicant,” which doesn’t really make sense for a newborn.

Has anyone else gone through this situation or knows how to handle it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It looks to me like you are using the wrong form.

Can you confirm you are using the PBS Dependent child form (you may want to open the link in a different browser or on a different computer to the one you are using for your current application, to avoid mixing up the two forms)?
