How to apply for China parents to settle in the UK?

Filial piety is the first of all virtues. With more and more China people getting PR in the UK, the problem of parents coming to the UK to provide for the aged has attracted more and more attention. Taking parents to spend their old age in Britain has also become the wish of many Chinese children in Britain, and there are special provisions in the British immigration law for this situation. The immigration law has very detailed requirements on the age, income, social security and physical condition of such applicants. Generally speaking, if you want to apply for China parents to settle in the UK and enjoy relevant medical care and security in the UK, you need to meet the following conditions:

1) The applicant's guarantor (child) has obtained British nationality/permanent residency;

2) One or both parents are over 65 years old; If the applicant is under 65 years old, it is usually not allowed: because the British government believes that the applicant is still able to take care of himself;

3) Parents are in poor health and need long-term care.

4) No other immediate family members, caregivers or domestic workers provide care in China; If the applicant has other children in China, usually not: because the applicant can choose their children in China to take care of themselves;

5) Parents have no old-age security in China, or the pension is not enough to support daily living expenses; Applicants with a certain wage income or a certain pension are usually not allowed: because the government believes that the applicant has the financial ability to enjoy social security benefits in China, the British government has no responsibility and obligation to take care of the applicant;

6) When living in China, all or most of the living expenses come from the applicant sponsor (children) in the UK.

7) The applicant's guarantor (children) can provide accommodation for parents and bear the living expenses without seeking public funds. If the applicant has a certain deposit, it is usually not possible: because the applicant has the ability to protect his own life.

China people tend to think according to their traditional mode of thinking, and think that it is natural for their children to support the elderly. But in the actual legal operation, are the relevant provisions of the United Kingdom correct? Need support? Clear conditions, especially as the government's responsibility and obligation to residents' human rights, are often not taken for granted. From the government's point of view, supporting the elderly is not the legal responsibility and obligation of children, but the responsibility and obligation of the government, as well as the responsibility and obligation of hospitals, nursing homes, social security systems and other relevant government functional institutions. When the applicant's country of origin has the ability or the applicant has the ability to support himself, the British government has no responsibility and obligation to bear this part.
