- Travel to the VFS centre for biometrics (Chandigarh or Jalandhar for most of Punjab), the TB test where the route needs one, and the SELT test fee where English is tested.

- Flights, insurance and the first month of living costs, which are yours to budget but not part of the application.

What are my realistic chances as a parent from India?ShowHide
Low. The Home Office refuses most applications because it finds paid care is available in India. Cases that succeed usually involve dementia, severe disability or conditions needing a family member rather than a paid carer, with years of medical records. We will tell you honestly before you pay £3,635.
Does my son or daughter's income help?ShowHide
Only for the maintenance test. For the care test it works against you: if they can afford a carer in India, the rule says care is affordable there. The question is whether suitable care exists at all, not whether they would rather you lived with them.
Can I apply from inside the UK after arriving as a visitor?ShowHide
No. The rules require an application from outside the UK. Applying in-country is refused, and overstaying to do so damages every future application.
