Dependent Visa
Stay Together, No Matter Where Life Takes You.
At Waymax Global, we believe families should never be separated by borders. Our Dependent Visa services help your loved ones join you abroad — quickly, smoothly, and stress-free.
🧭 What is a Dependent Visa?
A Dependent Visa allows the family members (spouse, children, or parents) of a visa holder to live, study, or work in a foreign country along with them. It’s the bridge that ensures your family stays together while you pursue your career, studies, or permanent residency abroad.
🎯 Purpose of a Dependent Visa
The main purpose is family reunification — allowing dependents to:
Live with the primary visa holder
Study in recognized institutions
Work (where country rules allow)
Access healthcare and benefits
In essence, a Dependent Visa keeps families connected and secure while complying with immigration laws.
⚖️ Rights & Limitations
Rights
- Live legally with the principal applicant
- Study at approved institutions
- Apply for work authorization (depending on country)
- Travel freely in and out of the country
Limitations
- Visa duration depends on the main visa holder
- Some countries restrict dependents from full-time work
