Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “My partner is a British citizen, and we’ve been living together abroad — can you guide us through the process of applying for a spouse or partner visa to move to the UK?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
08.08.2025 16:33:15 Applying for a UK spouse or partner visa involves several steps and requires careful preparation to ensure you meet all the requirements. Here’s a general guide to help you through the process: ### 1. Determine Eligibility To be eligible for a UK spouse or partner visa, you must meet the following criteria: - **Relationship Requirement**: You must be married or in a civil partnership recognized in the UK, or have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least two years. - **Financial Requirement**: Your British partner must meet certain financial criteria, typically earning at least £18,600 per year (more if there are dependent children). - **English Language Requirement**: You may need to prove your knowledge of English by passing an approved English language test unless you are from a majority English-speaking country or have an academic qualification taught in English. - **Accommodation Requirement**: You must have suitable accommodation arranged for when you arrive in the UK. ### 2. Gather Required Documents Prepare and gather necessary documentation, which typically includes: - Proof of your relationship (e.g., marriage certificate, joint bills, photos) - Evidence of meeting the financial requirement (e.g., payslips, bank statements) - Proof of English language proficiency - Details about your accommodation in the UK - Valid passport and any previous travel documents ### 3. Apply Online You will need to apply online through the official UK government website. The application process involves filling out forms and paying the visa fee. As of my last update, fees can vary so check current rates on the official site. ### 4. Pay Healthcare Surcharge You will also need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge as part of your application. This gives you access to the UK's National Health Service (NHS). ### 5. Attend Biometrics Appointment After submitting your application online, you'll be required to attend a biometric appointment at a local Visa Application Centre where they will take your fingerprints and photograph. ### 6. Submit Supporting Documents Depending on where you're applying from, you may either upload your supporting documents online or submit them at your biometrics appointment. ### 7. Wait for Decision Processing times can vary depending on where you're applying from and other factors like time of year or complexity of applications. Typically it takes several weeks. ### Additional Considerations: - **Priority Services**: Some locations offer priority services that expedite processing times for an additional fee. - **Legal Advice**: Consider consulting with an immigration lawyer if your case is complex or if you're unsure about any part of the process. Remember that immigration rules can change frequently; always refer to official sources such as [GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk) for up-to-date information before proceeding with your application.
