Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director
Summary
Some programmes include dependent parents, often requiring proof of economic dependence. Typical documents.
Short answer: “dependent” usually means parents are economically reliant on the main applicant. Blood relationship alone may not suffice — remittances, cohabitation and lack of independent income help.
FAQ
Can parents with a pension still be dependants?
It depends on the amount and local standard.
Must we live together?
Not always, but cohabitation can help.
Step-parents?
Only if the law recognises the relationship and documents support it.
