If you're under 18

If a young person is under 18, they need a written 'yes' from both parents. If only one parent is legally in charge, then just their 'yes' is required.

This is written okay; it needs to say they agree to:

  • The visa application

  • where the young person will live and how they'll be looked after in the UK

  • The young person traveling to the UK
