How to apply for a marriage visa to the United Kingdom: conditions and requirements
Applying for a marriage visa to the United Kingdom requires that you are married or in a civil partnership with a British citizen or permanent resident. The main requirements for applicants are:
- being at least 18 years of age;
- have a genuine and long-term relationship;
- meet the minimum English language requirements (level A1 for the first visa, A2 for renewal);
- have a place to live together in the United Kingdom.
Consultant lawyers will conduct a detailed analysis of your situation, determine the optimal type of visa and prepare a strategy for submitting documents in accordance with UK legislation.
Financial requirements for obtaining a spousal visa to the United Kingdom
Your sponsor in the United Kingdom (the person you plan to move in with) must have a proven annual income of £29,000 (from April 2024) or an equivalent amount in savings.
Sources of income may include:
- salary;
- income from your own business or freelance work;
- rental income, dividends, pension payments;
- cash savings in bank accounts.
The Consultant team carefully checks the financial documents provided, calculates the acceptable combinations of income and savings, and compiles a complete package of evidence to confirm financial capacity.

Consultant specialists will help you gather all the necessary documents, including evidence of the authenticity of your relationship (joint photos, correspondence, relationship history), to increase your chances of a positive decision.
Application processing time and biometric procedure
After completing the online application, the applicant must undergo a biometric procedure at the visa centre. The decision is usually made within 12 weeks. If desired, you can use the priority service.
