Spouse Visa Advice in London

Initial consultation £75

A UK Spouse or Partner Visa lets you join or stay with your partner in the UK. Your partner must be a British citizen, settled in the UK or an EEA national who holds pre-settled status in the UK. We help couples prepare their applications.

PROVISAS provides independent, regulated immigration advice and is not affiliated with the Home Office. Our fees cover professional advice and application support. Home Office fees and other disbursements are payable separately.

Our fee

£1,250 per applicant

We charge a fixed fee of £1,250 for our Spouse and Partner Visa work. This does not include our fee for an initial consultation (£75) or disbursements such as the Home Office's application fee. See all fees. If you choose to instruct PROVISAS following your initial consultation, the £75 consultation fee will be deducted from your agreed package fee.

Who is this for?

Spouse and Partner Visas cover Spouse, Civil Partner, Fiancé(e) or Proposed Civil Partner, and Unmarried Partner applications.

  • You live in the UK or abroad and want to apply, extend or switch so you can be with your partner.
  • Your partner is British, settled in the UK or an EEA national who holds pre-settled status in the UK.
  • You want clear, fixed-fee help from a regulated London adviser.

What do we do?

  • Explain your options in plain English at your consultation.
  • Give you a checklist of documents for your case.
  • Check your evidence and advise you of further evidence required.
  • Prepare and submit your application.
  • Keep you updated until you have a decision.

How does it work?

  1. Book your £75 consultation

    Tell us about your relationship and your circumstances.

  2. Gather your documents

    Upon confirmation of instruction for further services, we will provide you with a clear checklist tailored to your situation.

  3. We prepare and submit your application

    We will prepare your application, check your evidence pack and submit your application.

  4. Biometrics and decision

    You will need to attend a biometric appointment and await the Home Office to process your application and issue a decision.

How long does it take?

How long preparation takes will depend on your co-operation to gather and provide your documents. To assist you, we will provide you with a clear checklist at the outset and advise you of any further documents required throughout the process as we review your documents and prepare your application.

Once you have attended your biometric appointment, the Home Office will usually process your application and issue a decision:

  • Within 8 weeks for applications inside the UK; and
  • Within 12 weeks for applications outside the UK.

You can pay and opt for the Home Office's priority service for a quicker decision. Please note that whilst the Home Office will aim to issue a decision as soon as possible, a decision may be delayed if:

  • The Home Office requires further information or documentation; or
  • The Home Office considers the case to be complex.

Common questions

How much do we charge for a Spouse Visa?

We charge £75 for a single consultation and £1,250 for a Spouse and Partner Visa package (per applicant). This is not inclusive of disbursements such as the Home Office's fees. Please refer to GOV.UK for up-to-date Home Office application fees.

If you choose to instruct PROVISAS following your initial consultation, the £75 consultation fee will be deducted from your agreed package fee.

Can we apply if we are not married?

Yes. Spouse Visas are for those seeking to enter or remain in the UK as a Spouse, Civil Partner, Fiancé(e), Proposed Civil Partner or an Unmarried Partner subject to meeting all other requirements.

For Unmarried Partners, couples will need to have been in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for at least 2 years before the date of application.

During the consultation, we can discuss your circumstances and advise whether you will likely meet the requirements for a Spouse Visa.

Please note that the duration of entry clearance granted for those applying under the categories of Fiancé(e) or Proposed Civil Partner will be different to those applying under the categories of Spouse, Civil Partner and Unmarried Partner.

What are the financial requirements for a Spouse Visa?

The rules for meeting the financial requirement can be difficult to navigate for individuals. We can help you determine:

  • If your financial circumstances will be sufficient to meet the financial requirement; and
  • What the Minimum Income Requirement you will need to meet is; and
  • What documents you will need to demonstrate that you meet the requirements.

In most circumstances, the Minimum Income Requirement (MIR) will be £29,000. However, the MIR may be higher for those who are relying partially or wholly on their savings to meet the requirement. Additionally, we can advise you whether certain categories of income can be combined to meet the financial requirements if you have more than one source of income.

How long does a Spouse Visa take?

The Home Office processing time will start once biometrics have been completed. The standard processing times for a Spouse Visa are:

  • 8 weeks for applications made inside the UK
  • 12 weeks for applications made outside the UK

Processing time may change. Please check GOV.UK for up-to-date information on the Home Office's processing time.

Can we guarantee a positive decision?

No. No adviser can guarantee a positive Home Office decision.

Do you handle appeals?

No. PROVISAS is registered with the IAA at Level 1 and does not handle appeals. For a full list of our services, please refer to Personal Immigration and Business Immigration.
