## FAQ
**Can both parents come with the child?**
No. Only one parent can hold this visa. The other parent may visit on a Standard Visitor visa for up to 6 months at a time.

**Can I work while in the UK?**
No paid or unpaid work, no business and no study. You must fund the stay from savings or income from India.

**How much money do I need?**
Living costs for you and the child for each month of the visa, up to the Home Office monthly figure, on top of any unpaid school fees. The figure changes on 30 November 2026; our student maintenance calculator applies the right one by application date.
