Eligible relatives
A legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21, including adopted children, use DP. A common-law spouse recognised by their country or region’s law, unmarried stepchildren under 21, and the PEP holder’s parents use LTVP. The page’s standard family categories do not cover married or over-age children; they may seek their own work pass if intending to work.
When to apply
This family page recommends applying once the PEP is approved. DP and LTVP applications take around six weeks. Simultaneous applications are possible, but the family application fees may be lost if the PEP is rejected. The separate main application page recommends waiting until issuance; waiting until then satisfies both instructions.
