Divorce during a spousal visa

Divorce during spousal visa - legal assistance

If you are in the UK as a dependent on your partner's visa or on a family visa, divorce or separation may affect your immigration status. Your visa may be related to your relationship if you have been granted a family permit.

When you divorce, you and your partner must notify the UK Home Office. Withholding this information may adversely affect your immigration history and all future immigration applications.

Consequences of ending a relationship

If you are in the UK, breaking up with your spouse may affect your visa status.

In such cases, your visa will usually be shortened, which may result in a 60-day stay in the country or the expiry of your current visa, whichever comes first.

You will either need to leave the UK before the deadline or apply for permission to stay in a different immigration category.

If you have children, the situation can get complicated and you should definitely get legal advice.

Where to go in this situation

You should contact the UK Home Office. To do this, you can send an email.

If you do not have access to email, you can send a message by regular mail. 

In any case, you need to complete the appropriate form (based on your situation) and submit it with your message. 

This can either be a formal statement or a consent form, depending on whether you allow the Home Office to disclose certain information to your ex-partner.

When should you contact the Home Office of Great Britain?

You must notify the Home Office immediately after your relationship ends. Don't wait until your visa expires. Additionally, it's a good idea to seek professional advice to understand how divorce may affect your immigration status.

Result of application to the Home Office of Great Britain

Once you have notified the UK Home Office of your divorce, you may be offered either to leave the country or to apply for permission to stay in a different immigration category.

If you intend to remain in the UK, it is recommended that you seek advice from immigration solicitors who will take into account your individual circumstances and explain the immigration options available to you.
