Summary

This is separate from the application for an employee or business owner. Establish the principal permit's suitability before relying on it for the spouse's stay.

What This Route Allows

What This Route Is Not

Next Steps

  1. Confirm that your marriage and your spouse's residence status qualify for the dependent category.
  2. Complete Form 6 and gather marriage, spouse-status, support, housing, and personal records.
  3. Apply for dependent residence and follow the issued work and renewal conditions.
