Recently, our team was asked a question: “I am an Israeli citizen, my husband is German, we are divorced.
Do I need the consent of both parents to apply for a child visa?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
10.06.2025 11:08:47 The requirements for applying for a child visa can vary significantly depending on the country to which you are applying. Generally, many countries require the consent of both parents or legal guardians when applying for a visa for a minor, especially if the parents are divorced. This is often to ensure that both parents agree with the child's travel and potential relocation. If you are applying for a visa in Israel or Germany, or any other country, it would be wise to check the specific requirements of that country's immigration authorities. You may need to provide documents such as: 1. A letter of consent from the non-applying parent. 2. Proof of custody arrangements, if applicable. 3. Legal documentation regarding divorce and custody agreements. It's also advisable to consult with an immigration lawyer or official government resources in your respective countries to get precise guidance tailored to your situation.
11.06.2025 10:55:46 For a UK Child Dependant Visa application, if you are the sole legal guardian of the child, you generally only need to provide your consent. However, if the child’s other parent (your ex-husband) shares parental responsibility, UK authorities usually require consent from both parents to ensure the child’s welfare and to prevent parental abduction issues. If the other parent does not consent, you must provide evidence of legal arrangements (e.g., court orders) confirming your sole responsibility or permission to apply. It’s strongly recommended to obtain legal advice and, if needed, submit a parental consent letter or relevant court documents with the visa application to avoid refusal. Always disclose the full parental situation to UKVI for a smooth process.
11.06.2025 11:19:21 When applying for a Child Dependant Visa to the UK, the consent of both parents is generally required, especially if the child is under 18. As you are divorced, you must provide evidence of parental responsibility and consent from the other parent (your ex-husband) to support the child's application. If obtaining consent is not possible, you will need to provide clear reasons and evidence why consent cannot be given and demonstrate that it is in the child’s best interests to join you in the UK. The UK Home Office carefully assesses these cases to protect the child’s welfare. Consulting an immigration lawyer is highly recommended to guide you through the application process and ensure all necessary documentation is properly prepared.
