FAQs

  • Can we apply if living abroad?
    Yes. Most applications are made from outside the UK at a visa application centre. If you are already in the UK on a qualifying visa (not as a visitor), you may be able to apply to switch from inside the UK.

  • What if we don’t meet the financial requirement?
    The minimum income threshold is currently £29,000 per year (with additional amounts for dependent children). If this can’t be met through employment, savings or combined sources may be used. In certain circumstances (e.g. exceptional hardship), alternative evidence can be considered. We’ll review your situation and advise on the best route.

  • How long is the process?
    Processing usually takes around 12 weeks if applying from outside the UK, and up to 8 weeks for in-country applications. Priority and Super Priority services are sometimes available to shorten this.

  • Does this route lead to ILR and citizenship?
    Yes. The Spouse / Partner visa is normally issued for 2.5 years, renewable once to make up 5 years. After 5 years, you may qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Once you hold ILR, you may apply for British citizenship (usually after 12 months, or immediately if married to a British citizen).
