Compliance with Immigration Laws: Both the entrepreneur and their dependants must comply with UK immigration laws and regulations. This includes adhering to visa conditions, such as maintaining the entrepreneur's business activities and not engaging in prohibited activities.

Sufficient Funds for Maintenance: Dependents may need to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support themselves in the UK, unless they can rely on the financial support of the UK entrepreneur.

Health and Character Requirements: Dependents must meet the health and character requirements set by UK immigration authorities. This typically involves providing medical certificates and police clearance certificates to prove they do not pose a risk to public health or safety.

Complete Application Forms: Dependents need to complete the visa application forms accurately and truthfully. These forms can usually be filled out online through the UK Visas and Immigration website or in paper format if applying through a visa application center.

Pay Visa Fees: Dependents are required to pay the applicable visa fees for their application. The fee amount may vary depending on factors such as the country of application and the type of visa being applied for.

Attend Biometric Appointment (if required): Depending on the country of application, dependents may need to attend a biometric appointment to provide fingerprints and a photograph. This biometric data is used for identity verification purposes.

Submit Application: Once all forms are completed and the necessary documents are gathered, dependents can submit their visa application either online or at a visa application center.
