What Else Do I Need to Know About a PBS Dependent Visa?

If your application for a Family Member of a PBS Migrant visa is effective, you will mostly be allowed leave w.r.t the expiry date of the PBS migrant’s leave. If the PBS migrant is granted indefinite leave to remain, you will be given a three years’ leave. You can later apply for an additional leave, whenever needed, for your qualification period of 5 years and then apply for indefinite leave to remain. 

If the main applicant changes business or institution, PBS dependents can stay in the UK until their visa expires.
