Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Financial Requirements for a UK Spouse Visa
To sponsor a partner visa, the UK-based partner must demonstrate a minimum annual income of £29,000 (as of 2025) or hold cash savings of at least £88,500. Where these thresholds are not met, alternative pathways may be available, including combining income sources, relying on savings, or incorporating non-employment income. We provide tailored guidance to help you meet the financial criteria through compliant and strategic options.
What Is the Processing Time for a UK Partner Visa?
Applications submitted from outside the UK are typically processed within 8–12 weeks. Priority services (approximately 5 weeks) and super priority services (as fast as 24 hours) are available for expedited decisions. Applications made within the UK—such as switching from another visa category—generally take 6–8 weeks.
What Is Evidence of a Genuine Relationship?
Applicants must provide comprehensive documentation to demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship. This may include proof of cohabitation or ongoing communication, photographs spanning the relationship, evidence of shared financial responsibilities (such as joint accounts or transfers), supporting statements from family and friends, travel records, and documentation outlining future plans together.
Can I Work in the UK with a Partner Visa?
A UK spouse visa grants full and unrestricted work rights. Visa holders may work for any employer, pursue self-employment, or establish a business. Access to NHS healthcare is also included.
What Happens If My Partner Visa Application Is Refused?
In the event of a refusal, applicants may have the option to appeal or submit a fresh application. We conduct a detailed review of refusal decisions, identify the underlying issues, and provide expert representation for appeals or prepare a strengthened reapplication. Our current success rate for appeals and reapplications stands at 94%.
Application Costs
- Home Office fee: £1,846 (applications made outside the UK) or £1,258 (in-country applications)
- Immigration Health Surcharge: £1,035 per year (typically £2,587.50 for a 2.5-year visa)
What Is the English Language Requirement?
Applicants are required to meet an English language standard unless exempt (for example, nationals of majority English-speaking countries or those holding a degree taught in English). The required level is A1 (basic) for initial applications and A2 for extensions. We provide guidance on approved test providers and ensure you meet all relevant requirements with confidence.
