What is the UK Spouse Visa?
The UK Spouse Visa (officially called the Partner Route under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules) allows the husband, wife, civil partner or long-term partner of a British citizen or a person settled in the UK to live in the UK together.
Whether you are applying for the first time from overseas, switching within the UK, or extending or renewing an existing spouse or partner visa, the requirements centre on four areas: your relationship, your sponsor’s status, your finances and your English language ability.
