This has replaced what used to be called the Tier 2 work visa. But due to recent changes, healthcare workers such as doctors will not be able to bring dependent with them to UK. However, if your dependent still meets some eligibility requirements then he/she can visit or live with you through using study, work, or global talent visa categories in UK.

They can also extend their duration of stay without limitations and can qualify for indefinite stay, after living in UK for a minimum of 5 years under the same visa category
