Apply for a visa based on your personal life
You can only apply for a visa based on your personal living conditions if you currently live in the UK.
You must be able to prove the following conditions:
- You are under 18 and have lived in the UK continuously for 7 years and it would be unreasonable to expect you to leave the UK.
- You are between 18 and 24 years old and have lived in the UK continuously for more than half your life.
- You are over 18 years old and have lived in the UK for over 20 years and will have difficulty living in another country. For example, you do not speak the common language of that country and you cannot learn that language.
- You are over 25 years old and have lived in the UK continuously for 20 years.
Your family members must apply for their previous visa. Your case will be reviewed separately.
