Who Qualifies for a Spousal Visa?

To qualify for a spouse visa for your partner, you must demonstrate the following:

• You have the right to reside in the UK permanently – this requires proof of British citizenship, Indefinite Leave to Remain, or refugee status.
• Your annual income is at least £29,000 – you can provide evidence through payslips or savings.
• Your partner can communicate in English – they can demonstrate this through an approved English language test by the Home Office, or by holding a university degree taught in English, or by being a citizen of an English-speaking country.
• You are married or in a civil partnership – alternatively, you can show evidence of cohabitation for at least two years as unmarried partners.
• Your relationship is genuine – supporting evidence is required to prove the authenticity of your relationship.
• You have suitable accommodation – if renting, you’ll need written consent from your landlord permitting both of you to reside on the property.

If you’re not married or in a civil partnership, you might be eligible to apply for a fiancé visa. We offer guidance on the most suitable visa option for your circumstances.
