How long can a child stay in the UK on a child visa?

The duration a child can stay in the UK on a child visa varies by the type of visa. For a Child Student Visa, the stay typically lasts for the duration of the course, plus a short period afterward, up to a maximum of 6 years. A Child Visitor Visa allows a stay of up to 6 months. Dependent Child Visas align with the parent’s visa duration, which can vary but often lasts for several years. Adoption visas depend on the specific circumstances and legal requirements of the adoption process.
