Extension Requirements for Turkish Businessperson Dependant Visa – UK

If you are the dependant of a Turkish Businessperson under the ECAA (European Community Association Agreement), you must meet specific legal and immigration criteria to qualify for a visa extension. Aden & Co Solicitors offer expert legal support to ensure your application is accurate, compliant, and submitted with the highest chance of approval.

Valid Application Criteria

To extend your Turkish Businessperson dependant visa, you must apply from within the UK through a valid application in accordance with Appendix ECAA: Extension of Stay under the UK Immigration Rules. Submitting an incomplete or invalid application could result in refusal or delays.

Suitability Requirements

To qualify for further leave to remain as a dependent spouse, partner, or child, you must meet the suitability requirements under the ECAA Extension of Stay route. These are assessed as follows:

• Pre-Brexit Conduct: If your sponsor is a Turkish businessperson and the conduct in question occurred before 11:00 PM on 31 December 2020, your application may be refused if it is deemed undesirable due to your character, associations, or conduct (as outlined in paragraph 4 of HC 510).
• Post-Brexit Conduct: For conduct after the Brexit transition period, refusal grounds may apply under Section 1 of Part 9 of the Immigration Rules or ECAA 8.3.

In addition, your application for permission to stay will be refused if:

• You are currently breaching UK immigration laws, unless Paragraph 39E (exceptions for overstaying) applies.
• You are under immigration bail at the time of application.

UK Dependent Partner Visa Requirements for Turkish Businesspersons – Guidance by Aden & Co Solicitors

To qualify as a dependent partner of a Turkish Businessperson under the ECAA (European Community Association Agreement) route, the applicant must demonstrate a valid relationship with a partner who currently holds permission as an ECAA worker or businessperson.

For unmarried partners, the Home Office requires strict compliance with the following criteria:

• Both individuals must be at least 18 years old at the time of application;
• Any former relationships involving either the applicant or the ECAA partner must have permanently ended;
• The couple must not be closely related to the extent that UK law would prohibit marriage or a civil partnership.

Additionally, the relationship must be genuine, ongoing, and stable. Both the applicant and the Turkish Businessperson must also have a shared intention to live together in the UK for the duration of the applicant’s stay.

Relationship Criteria for a Dependent Child
To qualify as a dependent child under the ECAA (European Community Association Agreement) business route, the applicant must be the biological or adopted child of an individual who holds valid leave as an ECAA business person or the partner of such an individual.

Both parents must either:
– Be currently residing in the UK with valid ECAA route status (excluding visitor visas), or
– Be applying simultaneously for such status.

However, exceptions are made in the following circumstances:

• The ECAA-status parent is the sole surviving parent;
• The ECAA-status parent holds sole responsibility for the child’s care;
• The Home Office is satisfied that there are exceptional, serious, and compelling circumstances warranting the child’s entry or stay with the ECAA parent in the UK.

Age & Dependency Requirements
The applicant must be under 21 at the time of application unless they were previously granted permission as a dependent child under the ECAA route. In all cases, the child must not be living an independent life.

For applicants under 18, there must be demonstrably appropriate arrangements in place for their care and accommodation, adhering strictly to UK child welfare legislation and safeguarding standards.

Financial and Accommodation Criteria
The ECAA business person must provide suitable accommodation for the dependent child in the UK. Additionally, the business income must be sufficient to cover the financial needs of the child and any other dependents without recourse to public funds.
