Spouse & Partner Visas
Expert guidance for partners and families navigating UK immigration together.
Overview
The spouse and partner visa routes enable the partners and families of those living in the United Kingdom to join them and build a life together. These routes are available to spouses, civil partners, unmarried partners and fiancé(e)s of British citizens or persons settled in the UK.
Partner visas are also available to those joining individuals who hold certain immigration permissions, including Global Talent visa holders and Skilled Worker visa holders.
The route leads to settlement after a qualifying period, providing a clear and structured pathway to permanent residence in the United Kingdom. Applications require evidence of a genuine and subsisting relationship, alongside meeting financial requirements and demonstrating suitable accommodation arrangements.
Key Considerations
Financial Requirements
Applicants must meet a minimum income threshold. We advise on how the financial requirement is assessed and the evidence needed to satisfy it.
Evidence of Relationship
The Home Office requires detailed evidence that the relationship is genuine and subsisting. We guide you on what to include and how to present it.
English Language
Most applicants must demonstrate English language ability. We advise on the requirements and available exemptions.
Applications from Abroad & Within the UK
Whether you are applying to enter the UK for the first time or switching from another visa route, we manage both in-country and overseas applications.
Extensions & Settlement
We support applications for extending your leave and, when eligible, applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain.
Complex Situations
Previous immigration history, refusals or relationship changes can be sensitively addressed with the right legal guidance.
