Spouse of British National

 The Spouse of a British National visa allows individuals who are married to or in a civil partnership with a British citizen to live and work in the UK. This visa is part of the family reunion category, designed to bring families together. 

The main requirements for a Spouse Visa for the UK are:

Relationship Requirements:

• You must be married to or in a civil partnership with a British citizen or a person with settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain) in the UK.
• The relationship must be genuine and subsisting (i.e., not a marriage of convenience). You must be able to provide evidence of a legitimate and ongoing relationship.

Financial Requirements:

• You must meet a minimum income threshold, typically £29,000 per year, or have sufficient savings. This amount may be higher if you have children.
• Alternatively, you can demonstrate financial support through other means, such as savings or a combination of income and savings.

English Language Proficiency:

• You must prove that you have an adequate knowledge of the English language. This can be demonstrated through a recognised English language test or by having a degree taught in English.

Accommodation:

• You need to show that you have adequate accommodation for you and your spouse in the UK.

Age Requirements:

• Both applicants must be at least 18 years old.
