A UK Spouse Visa permits married partners of UK citizens or permanent residents to live together in the UK. To apply, the couple must demonstrate a genuine relationship, meet financial requirements, and provide adequate housing details.

This visa allows the holder to work and stay in the UK for 2.5 years, with the option to renew and eventually apply for indefinite leave to remain. Key documents include marriage certificates, bank statements, and communication records between the partners. The UK partner must meet an income threshold, currently set at £18,600, with higher amounts needed if there are dependent children.

Preparing the application with accurate documentation is crucial, as mistakes or missing information can delay the process. Consulting with an immigration solicitor can also streamline the application, helping ensure compliance with all legal requirements and increasing the chances of approval.
