Shygirl, it depends on your nationality. If your not one of the 33 nationalities given a tourist visa on entry for 2 weeks extendable by a further 2 weeks, then you may not get in at all (i.e USA, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Finland, Spain, Monaco, The Vatican, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Korea) . The only way you will be allowed to enter is sponsored by someone else. either a company or a close family relative (subject to minimum salary requirements). If you have no close family here and no job offer and are not eligible for a tourist visa then only your husband can sponsor you and your children.

Even if you are offered a job, i dont think its straightforward for a mother to sponsor her children.
