You will require a Standard Visitor Visa under the UK Visitor Visa category if you are a non-EEA citizen planning a visit to the UK to see your family.
The Standard Visitor Visa category includes highly rigorous conditions for family visas, which makes them hard to obtain. When your six months are done, you must show that you have a valid reason to go back home. Also, you will have to provide proof that you can afford your stay.
You are not permitted to work, get public assistance, or travel with dependents while using a family visit visa. It means that each member of the family must submit a separate Family Visit Visa application.
