Service for Pakistani Applicants
Stay Connected With Your Family Abroad
Family immigration may help eligible people join close relatives living abroad. The correct pathway depends on the relationship, the sponsor's legal status, finances, and destination country rules.
Cygnet helps families understand the approved service category, organise relationship evidence, and prepare for a profile based review without promising a specific outcome.
Initial guidance does not confirm eligibility or guarantee approval. Relevant authorities and other authorised organisations make final decisions.
Service Overview
What Is Family and Dependant Immigration?
Family and dependant immigration includes visa or residence pathways based on an eligible family relationship.
It may cover:
A dependant visa may be connected to the main applicant’s Work, Study, or Immigration Visa. Family sponsorship may follow a separate temporary or permanent process.
Each country defines eligible relatives and dependants differently. A relationship accepted under one country’s rules may not fit another country’s category.
