Yes, as the parent of a child who is a British Citizen or settled in the UK, you can apply for permission to enter or stay in the UK. To do so, you must meet certain requirements, which include:

1. Demonstrating that you have sole responsibility for the child or, at the very least, have access rights.
2. Proving that you can support yourself financially without relying on public funds.

If you meet all these requirements, you will be granted temporary permission to remain in the UK for 30 months. You can extend your stay for an additional 30 months if you continue to meet the requirements. After a total of five years, you become eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

If you are currently outside the UK, you must obtain your visa before traveling. If you are already in the UK, you may be eligible to apply, provided you are not on another Visitor Visa or temporary admission, your initial permission to stay was not granted for a period of fewer than six months (unless as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner), and you are not in breach of the Immigration Rules (overstaying for less than 28 days will not be taken into account). Meeting these conditions will enable you to apply for permission to enter or stay in the UK as the parent of a British Citizen or settled child.
