If you are planning to join your partner in the UK, the UK Government provides you the opportunity to apply for a spouse visa UK. To be eligible for a Spouse Visa UK, Your spouse or civil partner must be a UK Resident, Citizen or must hold a valid Visa for the UK. A Spouse Visa (also known as a Dependant Visa) allows you to join your spouse and build a life together in the UK. This visa is for dependent partners, meaning your right to stay depends on your spouse’s immigration status.
To be eligible for a Spouse Visa in the UK, you must meet the following requirements:
As part of the Spouse Visa application, you must demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself and any dependents without relying on public funds. The exact amount required will depend on your individual circumstances, such as whether you have children.
In addition to meeting the minimum income threshold, you must also show evidence of meeting the financial requirement through various sources, including employment income, self-employment income, savings, and non-employment income.
The Spouse Visa application process can be broadly divided into three stages:
Compile all necessary documents as per the UK government’s guidelines. This includes your passport, marriage certificate, proof of your relationship, and your spouse’s financial documents.
Attend a biometric appointment at a designated centre to provide fingerprints and a digital photograph
The current Spouse Visa application fee for dependents of a valid Student visa holder for the UK is £515. Additionally, you’ll need to pay the IHS, a healthcare surcharge that grants access to the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. The IHS fee varies depending on the length of your visa and your age. You can find a fee calculator on the UK government website.
