What is a UK Spouse Visa?
​
A UK spouse visa allows individuals who are married to a British citizen or someone with settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain) to join their partner in the UK. There are several different types of visas under the family category, but the UK spouse visa is one of the most common.
With this visa, your spouse or partner can live, work, and study in the UK for up to 2.5 years, after which they can apply for an extension or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) if they have completed the relevant 5 or 10 year period, and eventually apply for British citizenship.
Our expert team of UK spouse visa lawyers helps with several types of spouse-related visas:
-
Spouse Visa (Marriage Visa)
For married couples, the UK Spouse Visa allows foreign nationals to join their UK-based husband, wife, or civil partner in the UK. -
Fiancé Visa
If you and your partner are planning to marry in the UK, the Fiancé Visa allows your fiancé(e) to come to the UK to marry you. Once married, they can apply for a spouse visa to remain in the UK. -
Unmarried Partner Visa
For couples who have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least 2 years, an Unmarried Partner Visa can allow your partner to move to the UK with you. -
Family Visa (for children and other family members)
In addition to spouses, we also assist with applications for children and other dependent family members.
